    Very tasty and simple to do - roasted own pepper (not hard) and served with giant couscous and rocket salad

    This was great - 5 out of 5! Would also work well with chicken breasts. I used fresh peppers instead of ready roasted ones, but great to have that flexibility.

    A very average dish, thats easy to prepare and cook. The harissa paste was quite flavorless -slightly spicy but overall lacked in flavor, I think it might be better mixed with a little tomato puree to add moisture and flavor.

    I made this with pork chops and it was so simple and good. Another one for the quick supper file! The harissa is very spicy and my kids complained so next time I might just use 2 teaspoons harissa and add some tomato puree as someone else suggested.

    Very quick/easy mid week meal. Not enough juice for me. Any ideas how to increase the amount of juice without spoiling the flavour. I'm not keen on tomato puree - any ideas?

    Lovely flavour but not enough juice for me either - added cherry tomatoes second time around which made it much more juicy.

    Ours didn't create any sauce and I can't see where it would come from via the ingredients (only 1 tbsp of vinegar). Next time I will add some more stock. Loved it though and dead easy for a mid-week after work can't be bothered meal. Most of the ingredients are store cupboard.

    Lovely! Would always use fresh peppers over jar ones and this made a yummy sticky juice in the pan. I used new potatoes par boiled and added to the pan instead of couscous. The feta was a really nice addition to this dish and made a gorgeous creamy texture. Seemed a little bland on the harissa for me though and would consider adding more next time. Maybe because of the fresh peppers.

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe. I always do it for a quick and easy dinner when we have guests round - it tastes amazing and everyone always asks for the recipe. I also substitute the red wine vinegar for balsamic and I use pretty much the entire jar of roasted peppers and a whole block of feta. Mmm!

    All my boys enjoyed this even the 10year who doesn't like spicy food. Very tasty, I would like it to be a bit more juicy so may add tomatoe puree? didn't bother with pine nuts, and the couscous could do with more flavour as well, but other than that lovely will do again no doubt
