  this recipe is absolutely delicious. i do get how some may find it too bitter due to the lemon but i find the lemon part the missing ingredient. if you're not a big fan of lemons, add a teaspoon of lemon juice at a time and taste the sauce. i recommend making a home-made harissa paste, it is much more potent and gives more flavour. also, don't simmer this for more then 20mins (you have to add the couscous which will suck up all the tomatoe sauce, so you don't want it to get too gooey.) Hope this helped.

  Made this one for my family and it was a big hit. I read some reviews saying that the dish was too lemony so I cut back quite a lot on the lemon. In the end I used the zest and juice of about a quarter of one lemon. And to be honest even that was too lemony still. Next time I'll cut it back even more. I added extra harissa as we like things quite spicy. And I added a bit of cinnamon as well. Will defintely make this one again.

  After reading the other comments I made the following alterations: 3 chicken breasts (instead of 2) Juice and zest of 1 lemon (instead of 2) 1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes (instead of 2) About double the amounts of ground cumin and coriander These all seemed to work and it was really tasty! I'd definitely recommend it.

  Absolutely adored this dish. Contrary to other comments here, I didn't find there to be too much lemon. I had no harissa paste so excluded that and still delicious. Reheats excellently for a packed lunch. I will definitely be making this again.

  Peel the squash, add more Harissa and chicken, and then it's lovely!

  The tomatoes ruin this, they were SO overpowering we couldn't even taste the spicy Harissa. I would just use 200 ml stock and 200g cous cous next time.
