    I loved this recipe but when I make it again I will use 500g mushrooms, to balance with the chickpeas. Tastewise though, great.

    I was generous with the spices, and my husband sliced a fresh chilli to have with his. Not bad, and very quick for mid-week.

    Made this for the family. All thought it was worth having again. Quick and easy to make. Did add more spices than was suggested.

    I was delicious. I added some chunky carrot for a bit of colour.

    As newcomers to Moroccan food, we found this to be very tasty and not too overwhelming (though I did go for heaped tsps after reading the other comments). I added more veg and served with rice cooked with sultanas rather than couscous with apricots (gotta go with what's in the cupboard) which worked really well.

    This was really nice. A quick and easy dinner to make that tastes great! Looking at the comments I added the amount of spices as explained in the recipe but I halved the portion size - So effectively doubling the amount of cinnamon and cumin. I also doubled the amount of honey and added some harissa paste too. Definitely making this again!

    I also think this dish is bland, there is no depth to the flavor. Did not enjoy it.

    Really enjoyed this as a side dish with belly pork so didn't add the couscous and apricots but have them at the ready for next time when I'll do this as the main dish.

    I thought this was very bland although my husband (who usually likes very spicy foods) loved it! Next time I will add extra spices and maybe some chilli flakes to perk it up.

    nice and quick and really tasty. added some chili paste and was quite a bit more liberal with spices than it suggests, but really liked the cinnamon in it - different! also didn't have any dried apricots so put some raisins in the couscous + lots of black pepper

    ooh and added some carrots as well - thought that helped make it a bit 'chunkier'...

    Disappointingly bland, i even added extra apricots and garlic. Which bit of this recipe is Moroccan exactly? Will make my own recipe up next time

    Not too bad! I added aubergines, more garlic & spices and I also added ras-al-hanout and a bit of fresh chilli. I also served it with quinoa instead of couscous. Might add tomato puree & lemon for a bit more flavour next time as it did need a certain something!
