I used to go for the black olive in tomato-based sauces in a big way
...but recently, I've gone for a creme fraiche in tomato and basil sauce sort of approach.

It's rather good with cous cous in fact --- that was surprising...

Mmm, creamy tomato sauce with basil is very good,
but I'm not sure I'd want it with couscous, out of choice.

I just had the cous cous lurking around and thought, what the hell, why not?
It's surprisingly nice, though next time I do that, it's going to be a lamb-based tomato-type thing with cous cous.

Sounds more like it.
Couscous is nice, but only when flavoured properly, otherwise it's just packing material.
