Love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family and friends. I usually add a bit more spice, but that's just my personal preference.

This recipe was a disaster! The couscous was mushy and the vegetables were overcooked. The spices were also way too overpowering. I do not recommend this recipe.

This dish was delicious! The couscous was fluffy and flavorful, and the vegetables were tender and crisp. The spices added a nice kick, but weren't overpowering. I will definitely be making this again!

This recipe is a keeper! It's so versatile, I can add whatever vegetables I have on hand. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken or tofu.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices.

Made this dish last night and it was a hit with the whole family! Even the kids loved it. The couscous was perfectly cooked and the vegetables were still slightly crunchy. The spices were just right, not too spicy but still flavorful. We will definit
