Savory Cupcake Recipe

Looking for something a bit different - try a savory cupcake recipe.

Using couscous and a few herbs these are surprisingly light and tasty.

This unusual recipe works very well.

Serve these cupcakes warm as a great accompaniment to any meal. We served them with a Crock Pot Rack of Pork and with a little butter they were delicious.

Is this a muffin? Well there is a big argument as to what designates a cupcake and what designates a muffin. And although this is savory and does not need icing it is light and airy. Much more so than a muffin, so I am going to call it a cupcake but you may call it a muffin if you prefer.
