    I really enjoyed this recipe, quick and stress free. My measurements of cumin, cinnamon and honey were a little more generous but otherwise I followed it fairly precisely. The apricots really added to the flavour, although I think I added a few too many to my single portion of couscous.

    This was very quick and easy to make, but tasted quite bland until I added some harissa.

    Very nice recipe using mainly cupboard basics. Had no apricots in so used lots of sundried tomatoes instead. Also sprinkled a handful of almond flakes over the top before serving. Very nice, easy and quick.

    I read the comments here first and upped the seasoning to tablespoon each which seemed to work well. Easy to do and quite refreshing really

    Delicious! I wanted a quick, after work meal to cook for friends and it was a success. I agree with a few of the other comments...it's best to be heavy-handed with the seasoning and spices but overall very happy with the end result. I might try a few less apricots next time, but maybe some pomegranate seeds/raisons instead or as well as!

    I have been making this for a while now, although I didn't actually realise it was called something! I fry my onions in mixed herbs and garlic first, then add red/green chillies and cracked black pepper with a pinch of salt. I dont use the honey, i think thats a bit weird for this type f dish. In the cous cous, I used plain cous cous and copped up half a lime, add this with the water to flavour when you are making it. Try with a parmesan flat bread, its beautiful!!

    For once I read the above comments before making the recipe, and was glad I did. I doubled the spices, and added a pinch of chilli flakes. It still wasn't a taste sensation, but a perfectly OK meatfree midweek meal. Didn't enjoy enough enough to make again though... there are too many recipes out there to try.

    Went down really well with vegan mother in law. I used chestnut mushrooms and I also put it the zest of a lemon at the end which gave it a nice kick. Surprisingly tasty and will def make again.

    Way too bland. Really needs spicing up and things adding to it. Which rather destroys the point. There are better things to do with mushrooms and couscous.
