This recipe was a waste of time. The couscous never cooked through and the almonds and raisins were burnt.

I wouldn't recommend this recipe. The couscous was mushy and the almonds and raisins were too sweet.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The couscous was a bit dry and the almonds and raisins didn't add much flavor.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time.

I love this recipe! It's so versatile and can be served as a side dish or a main course. I often add grilled chicken or shrimp for a protein boost.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The toasted couscous is so flavorful and the almonds and raisins add a nice sweetness. I also like to add some chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for a pop of color.
