Curried Israeli Couscous with Roasted Vegetables
 
 
My friend Kalli offered me one bite of this Curried Israeli Couscous from Mendocino Farms and I never forgot it - that was over 2 years ago. I searched and searched the internet for even a hint on how to recreate this amazing Curried Israeli Couscous and came across the recipe. I’ve made it so many different ways over the years for so many different people and it’s a dish that I get recipe requests for both in the US and here in New Zealand.
