These patties were a bit dry, but the citrus sauce helped to balance it out.

I followed the recipe exactly and the patties turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The citrus sauce was also delicious.

These patties were a bit dry for my taste, but the citrus sauce helped to balance it out. I would probably add more vegetables to the patties next time.

I was looking for a new way to use couscous and these patties fit the bill. They were a great way to use up leftover vegetables and they were very tasty.
