Near East Wild Mushrooms & Herb Couscous Mix, 5.4 Ounce (Pack of 12)

This Curry dish is super fast, easy to make and tastes fabulous. I add walnuts and raisins, cooked chicken (sometimes peas & carrots) and my whole family loves it (although some of them pick out the raisins or the walnuts) they still gobble it down and it lasts in the refridgerator. Make sure you add everything to the water before it boils, or the dish will be to dry.

Great tasting, easy to make snack or side dish. Ready in a few minutes past the time it takes to boil water.

We love this, but it is almost impossible to find in stores. We are glad that Amazon still carries it.

Near East truly makes the best couscous in a convenient microwaveable form. This herbed chicken variation has a nice mix of spices that keeps the couscous from being bland while the small little carrot slivers add a nice additional texture if you are eating this alone as a side instead of mixed with smaller pieces of torn chicken. The Herbed Chicken blend, Toasted Pine Nut, and Garlic Olive Oil are the best and most flavorsome of Near East's options. I only wish that they were a bit more affordable here on Amazon. Typically the savings between here and my local grocery on more specialty products like couscous are greater than the few dollars difference I enjoy on this product. My husband can eat a box of this a day mixed up with tuna fish, and it is good enough for children to enjoy. I appreciate that it is enjoyable to eat while also being healthier than other grain options and lending itself to more diverse cooking explorations (in my opinion). I definitely recommend this product -- particularly if it is well within your grocery budget.

I love couscous and I love mushrooms. Kinda wish it had more of a mushroom flavor in this one, but still good and easy. Just chop mushrooms and toss in. Still yummy

We absolutely love this couscous. It has so much flavor and smells amazing too. When we make it we let the water simmer gently with the spices in for about 2 minutes to really steep the flavors through, then we add the couscous, remove from the heat and leave it to sit with the lid on for five minutes. One key to fluffy couscous is to add a little oil, we use coconut but you could use olive. It stops it sticking together, but you only need a drop. This tastes great with fish, curried vegetables, samosas and we often put it with veggie burgers. If you eat meat I would think you could use this as a side with almost anything.

This is my favorite instant couscous brand and flavor. For some reason all the supermarkets around me to carry the mushroom flavor any more. I have one dish that I always like to use this with, so I’m so glad I can still purchase on Amazon. The case price is very good as well.

This is a great pantry staple. I get this through Subscribe and Save and I keep it stocked in the house at all times. It takes five minutes to make and my entire family loves this as a side dish. For a working mom with two kids, Near East couscous is a lifesaver for those night when I'm trying to throw food on the table. It is a great complement to salmon, chicken breast, shrimp, whatever! I've even sautéed some veggies and thrown them into the couscous for a fun stir fry! This time, I ordered the Wild Mushroom, next time I'll get a different flavor just to switch things up. We've loved every flavor we've tried!
