Near East Couscous Mix Parmesan, 5.9 oz Box

I had the real thing in Morocco and this isn't like what you get there but then again, they make it with veggies so not likely to get it with the cheese flavor. This is easy to fix and a great alternative to rice or pasta. This one does taste good. I add a can of peas and carrots and instead of water, I use the juice from the canned veggies to make it, it soaks up the flavor and good.

When I am preparing dinner, I often ask my husband what he wants for a carb side-Potatoes, rice or couscous? Most of the time he answers couscous and he especially likes the Near East parmesan, though when making lamb, I generally make the Near East roasted garlic and olive oil. It is a light side and can be prepared in no time, especially if you preheat the water in an electric kettle. That little box goes a long way, too. I often use just 1/3 or 1/2 of the box combined with peas or mixed vegetables for the two of us, thus getting 2, sometimes even 3 meals out of a box. It is perfectly seasoned and takes so little time to make that it is well-suited if you are pressed for time.
