    I’ve never used Israeli couscous before so have the same questions as hollis517 …

    Toasted Couscous - does it come toasted or is toasting it part of the process when you cook it according to package directions? The video doesn’t enlighten me on this issue.

    Paprika - sweet, smoked or hot?

    my review was written before i found the video, which answered most of my questions. mea culpa.

    i love all the ingredients, but the recipe has some questions for me: (1) is the couscous toasted before cooking or after? (2) is the cumin already ground when toasting, or is it whole, or is it whole and then ground? (i'm guessing, the latter) (3) what kind of paprika: sweet, smoked, or hot? (i'm guessing, not hot paprika) anyway, i prefer sumac for this salad. and maybe a soupcon of sprinkled lemon zest on top.

    Great dish! I thought the lemon juice was enough so I omitted the zest.
