I'm not a big fan of fennel, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The fennel flavor was not overpowering and it actually complemented the other flavors in the dish very well.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I thought the fennel was a bit too overpowering in this dish. I think I would have preferred it with less fennel or maybe a different herb altogether.

This recipe was way too salty for my taste. I had to rinse the couscous several times before it was palatable.

I followed the recipe exactly and my couscous turned out mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
