SO HOW'D IT GO?
I really enjoyed this recipe. I didn't have a ton of apple cider vinegar, so for the reduction sauce I mixed balsamic and ACV. I also didn't have couscous so I used quinoa instead. Loved it :)>>>
This recipe was delicious! I didn't have any good potatoes, and used butternut squash, and it was wonderful! Super easy, no real measuring needed - I was able to make it in a dorm kitchen! Thanks for the great recipe!
I just made this again, and added a topping of some toasted pinenuts. SO good!
