Hi Liorah. Is that the actual brand you use?
It doesn't look that is that box. That box says 21oz and she says 10 oz
also which couscous u use the israeli ones or the regular ones?
Were planning on making the recipe this week! can't wait to try it out, looks delicious!
Hi Pnina, I do use the Osem brand, and also for the chicken consomme. But I buy the 10oz boxes, and make the whole thing - haven't seen the bottles like that at my store!
Dass - enjoy!
I made a variation of this over Shabbos...GREAT!
