This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was too runny and the couscous was undercooked. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, and the couscous was a bit bland.

I'm not a big fan of couscous, but this recipe changed my mind. The sauce was so flavorful and the almonds added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again.
