This recipe is a great base for a variety of dishes. I've added roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, and even feta cheese. It's always delicious.

This dish is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of pomegranate molasses next time. Otherwise, it's a good recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of couscous, but I really enjoyed this dish. The pomegranate and mint add a lot of flavor and the pine nuts give it a nice crunch. I would definitely make this again.
