    Absolutely the best kind of recipe - delicious, healthy, quick, easy and all in one pot! Plus, a bit different. Used a tin of chopped tomatoes, which worked fine. Loved the chilli and lemon flavours.

    I adore this recipe! I have made it very often, and always get complimented on how full of flavour and tasty it is. No on guesses how little time and effort goes into it! Highly recommended. If I am being extra good, I use Fry Light instead of the oil, and leave out the wine, but its still wonderful.

    This was excellent, quick and easy to do, it made a mid week dinner seem special! Hubby doesnt like couscous so I part cooked rice before adding that to the pan instead, which worked well. I also followed advice and used slightly less stock (same amount of wine though!). This is delicious as it is but would be easy to add or change things slightly and still have a great dinner- some seafood or just prawns would be a good idea.

    This recipe is fantastic! To get the lovely rich red sauce as in the picture I substituted the plum tomatoes for half a can of regular chopped tomatoes. Also as I don't like celery I use a red pepper instead but it's become an instant favourite and get made most weeks! It's hard to believe that something so delicious can be so low fat and so filling!

    I used leek instead of celery as partner is a celery hater. As per suggestions, I used a tin of cherry toms and 65g of cous cous. As others had said the lemon really enhanced the dish, I used Ainsley Harriott Citrus Kick Cous Cous. I also added some black pitted olives as suggested. Again my chap not normally keen on olives but he enjoyed them in this dish. Will definitely make again.

    Too sour to my taste, but my partner liked it. Definitely more of a summer dish.

    I made a few adjustments to this recipe in the light of the comments, and to suit our own taste. I used a can of Napolina plum tomatoes and substituted beans for the couscous, as none of us like couscous. I used red kidney beans,but if I was repeating the recipe, I'd go for something softer like Butter beans. I also added 2tbsp of flour at the end of the first stage, as without the couscous there would be no thickening agent - and hubby hates thin broths. However, I thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely have it again. I particularly liked the flavour of the broth and the parsley/lemon against it. Hubby hated the whole thing, as it gave him instant indigestion. Son enjoyed the fish and the broth, wasn't keen on the rest - but then he's 11 and pathologically opposed to vegetables. LOL

    Loved the flavours of this dish, really enjoyed it and will make it again. I used home grown tomatoes which worked well and served the finished dish with home grown runner beans and baby courgettes and a big crusty roll to mop up the delicious juices, wonderful! I didnt add the anchovy, as its a bit of a bind opening a tin just to use one anchovy, dont think the dish suffered from not using it?

    Really good, quick and easy. I added a tiny (about 1/4 tsp) tomato puree just before adding the wine having read the comments about the colour. I also used some small tomatoes from the garden instead of one of the plum tomatoes - I skinned the other before chopping. Will cook it again.

    Really nice, although I used a whole tin of plum tomatoes, an apache chilli instead of the chilli flakes and a whole tin of anchovies, served it with some parmesan and sun dried tomato bread - it was gorgeous!

    I would definitely make this dish again. I modified the recipe by using tinned tomatoes instead of fresh, fresh chilli instead of flakes and fish stock instead of vegetable stock. I also didn't add the optional anchovy. Initially I thought there would be too much liquid but the couscous soon absorbed most of it. Easy, inexpensive and a great base to modify - adding seafood sounds like a great idea!

    Superb recipe. Used brown rice instead of couscous as my partner is wheat intolerant. Can see that with a couple more tweaks (rice instead of couscous, coriander instead of parsley, a dash of soy sauce) this would be a great "Asian Style Fish Stew" :)

    Great meal, we have it regularly now. Rather than the plum tomatoes I tend to use half a dozen or so cherry tomatoes or similar. It never really looks like the picture, but my cooking rarely does! ;-)

    Very good flavours. Would be nice served with some fresh bread to soak up the juices.
