Served it as one side to a baked "Raz El Hanout" chicken dish - using a spice blend my daughter gave me for Christmas.<br /><br />I enjoy your videos and have made a number of your dishes. Thank you, very much appreciated.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Mike B.MikeNJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272264598684338066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-87351713096892745512015-09-30T20:41:57.054-04:002015-09-30T20:41:57.054-04:00I just made this but I had a half-litre of strong ...I just made this but I had a half-litre of strong Scotch beer before I started, so I drunkenly threw the asparagus into the couscous instead of boiling it up in the broth... my sister who was watching skeptically (she claims she doesn't like anything with cumin) said it would be fine because the asparagus was fresh... it turned out amazing despite the error. Also the shop was out of jalapeno, so I bought some serranos.<br /><br />I ate it with a little of my own kimchi on the side (recipe from www.maangchi.com) -- fantastic combo IMO.<br /><br />Keep up the good work, you bring pleasure to hundreds of thousands of people like me who can't really cook but can at least follow recipesbeemohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18332482066910338995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-32445194751882339662012-03-27T20:53:26.827-04:002012-03-27T20:53:26.827-04:00I just made this, and topped it with some grilled ...I just made this, and topped it with some grilled pressed tofu.

My variation was that I substituted cremini mushrooms with the asparagus, added some crushed garlic, and just used the cumin (only because I knew the jalapenos would be a bit much for me).

Of course not. Cooking food in a certain way is just a concept and conveniently named after different regions. You should experienment with your cooking, except when you really want to make it in a specific way that is already named, then maybe its better to stick to a that recipe. This sort of email is rediculous. I love your variations on chinese food. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-71280239742697528172011-04-05T21:25:08.118-04:002011-04-05T21:25:08.118-04:00I made this today except it was totally and comple...I made this today except it was totally and completely different.
