Couscous question(s)

[hkellick]

This post is primarily for people like kareila and alierak who eat couscous. My first time eating couscous was, in fact, at kareila's old place. I tried it again yesterday and it wasn't bad, but not quite as flavorful as I remember.
What sort of brands/boxes etc. do you get couscous in and what do you do/add to it to help bring out the flavor?
Just curious.

We too usually buy Near East kits, the "mediterranean curry" is particularly good. If you're starting with plain couscous, what Dawn said + try adding some garlic. I tend to serve it with something more flavorful than itself, most often producing some form of couscous-and-chicken.
