About Recipe

I love couscous, it´s such a versatile ingredient and it goes perfect with so many different flavors. This Saffron Couscous Recipe with Capers & Roasted Peppers grabs couscous and takes it to the next level in goodness. When I´m developing recipes, I´m always looking to add an explosion of flavors that have a great balance and offer a Spanish influence.
