  This is yummy, although didn't add the cherries to it. Also any of the juice that is left makes a brilliant soup.

  This is lush! My girlfriend made this the other night. She likes to cook and found this very rewarding and very easy to make. Everybody had seconds!

  Surely olives rather than cherries, they just don't sound right.

  Really tasty,lovely flavours will be making again. I did use carrots instead of squash and I used dried apricots because I couldn't get cherries. Delicious.

  This was wolved down last night, I'd say the portion is exactly right for six decent-sized meals. We mixed the red onion/lemon zest/mint/feta mix in with the couscous, along with some chopped tomatoes too, and had just the yoghurt on the side. Yum. My partner felt it didn't need the extra sugar, the butternut squash and cherries were sweet enough. It was a lovely texture too. I was a bit worried it would be more effort than I could be bothered with by the time I trudged home from the supermarket but the recipe really lent itself to get bits chopped and whizzed whilst other bits were cooking with plenty of time to get the kitchen straightened out before serving. I've never ventured into Moroccan cooking before, despite loving the cuising, and this was definitely a great and encouraging starting point!

  Felt the same about the cherries so added olives instead. Also made double and freezed a batch. Definately a favourite and took some to my friend too, who also loved it!

  Very easy and really tasty. I didn't have cherries so used sultanas instead and they worked really well, although I think the cherries sound lovely. Talking about using the same recipe with lamb and dried apricots next time too.

  made this using chicken thighs so cooked for a lot longer in a slow cooker so they were nice and tender. Sounded a lot of cinnamon so I used about half the quantity, maybe less and it still tasted slightly harshly of it. I used the cherries but wouldn't say they added anything. Think I would use apricots next time as they would seem to be more fitting, or even dried cranberries for a festive flavour. Otherwise though, very tasty and enjoyable.

  Delicious!!! Will be making this again. Cooked in the slow cook all day whilst at work. Didn't bother with the mint, feta or yogurt. Served with rice. Didn't have cherries so used raisins instead. Yum yum yum!!!!

  I followed the recipe exactly and although I was only feeding 3 I stuck to the quantities. My husband and the friend who was dining with us pronounced it "bland". I froze the leftovers and when I subsequently got them out of the freezer I firstly fried off extra cumin and coriander before putting the defrosted dish into a casserole to re-heat on top of the stove. On that occasion my hubby pronounced it "delicious". I might mention that both hubby and the friend are used to quite highly spiced dishes, as am I.

  How big (heavy) should the "large" butternut squash be??

  This wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. We left out the feta and maybe that is why we found it incredibly sweet. Would leave out the sugar if I cooked it again, but not sure we'll venture down this route again.

  Lovely dish followed the recipe exactly, but made it a day ahead as I do with all dishes like this. I tasted once completed yesterday and really wasn't sure but after being left for 24 hours the taste was divine! Served with broccoli and the recommended additions above and can't wait to enjoy the other portions in the freezer :-) OH is out tonight so he will be enjoying this for his lunch tomorrow an Im sure his verdict will be much the same as mine
