This dish was a disappointment. The couscous was mushy and the vegetables were undercooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I tried this recipe and it was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more seasoning or maybe a different type of vegetable. Overall, it was okay.

Not bad! I'm not a huge fan of couscous, but this dish was pretty good. The vegetables were cooked well and the flavors were nice. I would recommend it to others who are looking for a quick and easy meal.

This was a great way to use up some leftover vegetables. I used a mix of broccoli, carrots, and zucchini, and it was all cooked perfectly. The couscous was also very fluffy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again!

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I usually add some chopped fresh herbs to the couscous before serving, and it really brightens up the dish. Thanks for sharing!

Just made this for dinner and it was so good! I added a little bit of extra spice with some chili powder and cumin, and it was perfect. The couscous was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were still crisp. Will definitely be making this again!
