Fluffy tomato-infused couscous with capers from the Veganomicon is the side dish you didn't know you needed. It may include cayenne pepper but it's the flavor you stay for, not the heat.

The food so good, they named it twice. Couscous! Awesome dish. Thumbs up.

[@TheVeganTestKitchen]

LOL, indeed! Thanks, man!

This is one of the simpler recipes in the book and because of that I've been wanting to try this! I finally made this the other day (with bulgur wheat instead of couscous) and it was really tasty, complemented the fattoush salad I paired it with very well. My sister isn't a fan of pickled things, but the capers didn't bother her at all. Thanks for making all these videos, makes me much more likely to try things from the Veganomicon!

I really loved this one too! And glad you're opening up a little more to the Veganomicon. I don't know what it is about that cookbook, but it didn't really appeal to me at first either.

I don’t eat couscous often but I always like it😋

[@TheVeganTestKitchen]

You'd love this then 😉

[@ChefJana]

OMG You nailed it again. I so wish I was your neighbor! :)

[@TheVeganTestKitchen]

LOL thanks! The Veganomicon has some wonderful recipes for sure 😋

[@vodell4935]

That was a quickie! I would definitely double the capers!

[@TheVeganTestKitchen]

Oh yeah...not a bad idea 😉

[@justingooding647]

So simple, yet looks so delicious, can't wait to try it. And loving your cat in space tee!

[@TheVeganTestKitchen]

Yes! Super simple and full of flavor 😋

[@nozee77]

This must be delicious wrapped in grape leaves! Adding the cloves is interesting, I'm a little reluctant but will give it a try.

[@TheVeganTestKitchen]

I think the cloves add more fragrance than anything, but you could definitely leave them out and still be delicious.
