This dish was a bit too spicy for my liking. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper or omitting it altogether.

I followed the recipe exactly and the couscous turned out mushy. I think it's important to be careful not to overcook it.

The zucchini and cherry tomatoes were a bit bland for my taste. I added some roasted peppers and olives, which gave the dish a much-needed boost of flavor.
