The small amount of turmeric I used in this dish were mainly for color and a wee bit of slightly tangy flavor (and a smaller grocery bill). Different, but still tasty :)If you were going to use saffron, just crumble a small pinch into the chicken broth in place of the turmeric.

Does turmeric give a similar taste to saffron because I have noticed that many recipes have either one or the other but have only tasted the saffron version...

I like it. Unfortunately, I've haven't been able to find couscous for the past few months where I live. Sniff. I do miss my Tabbouleh! Simple and crunchy. I like it.

A really small box of it, for about 6 bucks. I mean it's pasta, for goodness sake. I'm going to have to do another road trip and stock up! CheapAppetite: Mine too!

It's what gives the couscous that beautiful yellow color.
