I only made 2 small adjustments (only due to items onhand). I used jalape\u00f1o cheddar pork sausages as I couldn\u2019t Find spinach and feta chicken sausage. I used a chicken bullion cube in place of the broth as I didn\u2019t have any onhand (and wasn\u2019t buying for just 1 cup). Otherwise made as written. And it was very good we enjoyed it. \n\nHaving said that. I think next time I will make a few adjustments; a little extra garlic, some sun dried tomatoes and Bella mushrooms and some fresh spinach wilted near the end. And we may try with a roasted pepper chicken sausage mixed with the jalape\u00f1o cheddar sausage. \n\nDefinitely will make it into a monthly rotation.

The sausage was very dry and rubbery. The couscous was very good. I think if i had browned the sausage and then removed it and kept warm while the couscous was cooking then added it back in at the end it would have been much better. I believe that extra 10 min cooking time for sausage that was already fully cooked was too much. That being said the recipe has a really good flavor and is a quick meal","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2024-12-10","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"twinz4us2878"},"reviewBody":"
This was delicious! I cooked the sausage then removed it from the pan. I saut\u00e9ed a few fresh mushrooms with the onions and garlic, while omitting the celery. After the couscous was done cooking, I added the sausage back to the pan with a cup of chopped fresh spinach and the feta cheese. I will definitely make again.
