  Surprised nobody else has tried this yet - it is very good. As it was cooking my inarticulate 14yr old son commented that it was 'beautiful'. I forgot to buy bulghar wheat, but had giant couscous in the cupboard, which worked very well. And unless you are made of very stern stuff I'd only use 1 tbsp of harissa.

  Absolutely lovely. Made this with River Cobbler (£2 for 2 fillets) so a very cheap meal that tasted fantastic!

  Liked this dish, different and interesting, but the harissa I get is very strong and I would only add 1 tsp for 4 people. Otherwise made it just as you said.

  Made this last night for friends and we all loved it! I used veggie stock and left out the apricots (not a fan myself!). Would definitely recommend as a healthy, slightly unusual dish.

  This is absolutely delicious! A lovely combination and something interesting to do with white fish.

  Make this last night pretty much exactly to the recipe and it was delicious! I did add in a red pepper and didn't have cumin seeds so had to use ground cumin which didn't take from it. I will be making this again very soon!

  Loved this. Very tasty. I also used half the amount of Harrisa and it still had a bit of spice, but not overpowering. I had the left over mix with a fried egg for lunch the following day and it went very well with the egg.

  This is lovely. I used couscous, didn't have bulghar wheat, never heard of it to be honest, and it isn't something I usually have in, but couscous is, so... Really tasty, didn't have apricots though, but don't think I'll bother with them. The harissa paste is wonderful, definitely make it again.

  Fantastic, I used cous-cous as I couldn't find bulgar wheat and the flavours where just superb. I did pan fry my hake fillets as I am not too keen on steaming fish!

  Very tasty and easy - a perfect, and unusual, one-pan meal. I followed the recipe to the letter, apart from increasing the spinach to 260g as that's what I had. We didn't find it particularly spicy but the flavours were lovely, and the hake was gorgeously tender. I'll definitely make this again.
