  Yummy! But I left out the harissa so the kids would eat it.

  Superb! Made with brown rice as I was low on couscous, and used Delia Smith's Harissa style dressing as I didn't have oranges or harissa! Absolutely delicious!

  Excellent meal. I grilled chicken breasts instead of using roast chicken.

  Absolutely delicious, fruity but with a nice kick from the harissa, will definitely be making again.

  Disappointed with this, I didnt particularly like the orange dressing and the pistachio nuts sounded really good but were completely masked by the harrissa...and became soft when left overnight. Thought this was going to be a great find but quite disappointed now. Sorry, not for me!
