I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more herbs and spices. The pork was also a bit overcooked. Overall, I was not impressed with this recipe.

This dish was a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less lemon juice. The pork was also a bit dry. Overall, I was not impressed with this recipe.

I love how versatile this recipe is. I didn't have any pork on hand, so I used chicken instead. It turned out just as good! I also added some chopped vegetables to the couscous for a healthier meal.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover pork. I had some roasted pork from a previous meal and it worked perfectly in this recipe. The citrus and herbs helped to brighten up the flavor of the pork and the couscous added a nice texture.
