A variety of veggies make this interesting side dish versatile. I like to serve chicken in an apple, onion, and curry sauce over the top and sprinkle it with flaked coconut. Can also be made with quinoa, just adjust cooking time.

This dish was a disappointment. The vegetables were mushy and the couscous was bland. I won't be making this again.

This recipe was a lifesaver! I had a bunch of leftover vegetables and didn't know what to do with them. This dish was the perfect solution.

Not bad, but not great either. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.
