Introduction

Pearl couscous, which is larger than the regular couscous, is high in protein, very low in fat, and very satisfying. This is a warm, inviting dish great as a lunch or sidedish, flavorful too. You won't miss the meat but chicken or lowfat lean steak could be added as well. Pearl couscous, which is larger than the regular couscous, is high in protein, very low in fat, and very satisfying.
