Can substitute cherry tomatoes for sun-dried tomatoes in oil, celery for English cucumbers, cooked chicken meat for firm tofu, and mint for a portion of the parsley.

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.

I substituted chicken for tofu and added purple cauliflower. The chimichurri couscous is a great base for a grain bowl!

I loved this! Will definitely make again and wasn’t too complicated. I used not oil packed sundried tomatoes was my only change to the recipe.

I liked this. I thought all of the components came together really well to make a well rounded bowl. The chimichurri sauce itself was okay to me. Not being the biggest fan of parsley, I couldn't get past the at-times metallic taste of it in the sauce. Overall though, it didn't hinder the dish substantially. Used chicken instead of the suggested tofu, as I not the biggest fan of tofu.

This was good, but a lot of work. I would suggest drizzling the olive oil in while the food processor is running (vs. dumping it all in once at the beginning). I will try out other recipes in this book before coming back to this one.
