I'm not sure what went wrong, but this recipe was a complete disaster. The couscous never cooked through, and the lemon and cilantro were overpowering.

This was a waste of time and ingredients. The couscous was mushy and the flavors were all wrong.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it needed more salt and pepper.

This was a bit too lemony for my taste, but I think it would be great with a little less lemon juice.

This was a great side dish for my grilled salmon. The lemon and cilantro added a nice brightness to the dish.

This recipe is a keeper! It's simple to make, and the results are always impressive. I've even served it to guests, and they raved about it.

I love how versatile this recipe is. I've made it with different types of vegetables, and it's always delicious. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken or fish.

This was a quick and easy weeknight meal. The couscous cooked in just a few minutes, and the lemon and cilantro added a nice pop of flavor. I served it with grilled chicken and roasted vegetables.

I'm not a huge fan of couscous, but this recipe changed my mind. The lemon and cilantro added a ton of flavor, and the couscous was light and fluffy. I'll definitely be making this again.
