  Simply brilliant meal. Don't be put off by the 'moderately easy' rating there really is nothing difficult about this. Just be prepared for a lot of chopping!

  This was absolutely delicious, the flavours worked soooo well together. Completely agree with biggestdave, this is super duper easy, and deifnitely add time onto cooking. I cooked mine for 20 minutes assuming it would be medium, and the inner cutlets of the rack came out rare. Few more minutes in the oven finished them off though and both my hubby (who is one of the fussiest eaters EVER) and I thoroughly enjoyed this dish. Clean plates and happy faces all round!

  I cooked this for mothers day and it was simply delicious. The lamb took longer than the recommended time as as thre above poster said, it came out raw in the centre. The Cous cous was beautifully flavoured, in fact the best cous cous I have ever had as often it can be too bland. Highly recommended and would most definitely make again!

  I made this and it went really well. It's very easy to prepare and tastes fantastic! The only issue with the recipe was that it took a little longer to cook that it says. I wanted it pretty rare so cooked it for 15 mins on gas mark 7, when I cut into it it was not rare but completely raw and needed another 10 minutes in the oven (now cut into two pieces!). But that did the trick and it was very tasty, would definately make it again!

  Made this tonight for hubby and I, when he saw couscous on the menu, he thought.... OH! no, not couscous.....but , once he started to eat it , he was hooked, flavours were wonderful, the lamb I cooked for 30mins(encourages by previous chefs!) rested for 5 mins, and it was perfect, just pink, not raw! a much enjoyed dish, will definitely do this again, and again, and again.........

  Had this tonight - the lamb was cooked perfectly (20 mins in fan assisted oven), but I wish I had added more Harissa paste as it was lovely, moist and tender, but lacked a bit of flavour. The couscous was nice, but I did think it got a bit boring after a while. I didn't add as much mint as the recipe suggested as hubby is not a fan, so perhaps a bit more of that would have improved the flavours. We did enjoy it, and I would eat it again, but it's not something I normally cook, so the expense of buying the various herbs and spices made didn't really match up to the taste.

  This dish was absolutely gorgeous and I wouldn't change a thing. I cooked it for 25 minutes and it was perfect - pink in the middle. Next time though I am going to organise myself better and get all the ingredients to hand which would be more efficient. Dorothy

  Impressed the girlfriend with this one over the weekend and I'm a complete novice with cooking (only my second dish). As others mentioned, it needed an extra 10 minutes cooking time in my oven. Also I ended up finishing off the carrots in a pan as they didn't look browned on the edges as shown in the picture. Will definitely do again.
