Toasted pearl couscous with fried eggs from Milk Street Tuesday Nights: More Than 200 Simple Weeknight Suppers that Deliver Bold Flavor, Fast (page 149) by Christopher Kimball

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    A tasty and easy to make vegetarian main. The couscous itself tasted great, and when coupled with an egg on top added some extra savoriness. The sumac-za'tar spice mixture sprinkled on it was an added cherry on top.

    Tasty, satisfying, easily doable as a quick weeknight meal. My one-year-old enjoyed it along with the adults. I agree with Shewi128 that the portion size is small - doubling the recipe may be a good idea if folks are hungry. I used turmeric pearl couscous by mistake, but the result was good; not sure if that made any difference whatsoever.

    How was there so much flavor with so little ingredients? We loved this! However, our family of 4 (2 adults, 1 5 year old and 1 tween) needed more food. Usually the suggested serving sizes are much too large, but we were all left wanting more.

    The flavors were delicious. Calls for 2 1/2 cups hot water added in stages to cook the couscous, and I may have lost count but I believe I added at least three cups and possibly a quarter cup beyond that. The couscous was still VERY al dente, but the flavour and creaminess made up for it.

    This truly lives up to the concept of the book. It's comforting and delicious and completely doable, even when you're exhausted after work.
