Author Notes

I have been making this particular version of couscous for a long time - I just love it ... the freshness of the herbs and lemon with the salt from the olives and capers and feta ... it all comes together just right (I think!) so I was happy for a reason to make it this weekend (one must have a photo after all) —aargersi

I actually like to bring this version of couscous for picnics in summer and eat it cold, this brings back nice warm memories!

Recipes like these are why they invented couscous -- those flavors are made for each other.
