flavorful and easy I make a few switches I subbed cooked brown rice for the couscous and dry white wine for the water. The sauce came out a bit too bitter so I drizzled some honey on top. I also baked all the cutlets in one pan; once I rolled them and put them down in the pan, I didn’t think it was wise to move them to individual foil squares. They were delicious!!
