  Easy and quick to make. Lovely with the feta - even convinced my friend who hates couscous to eat one!

  Surprisingly good recipe. I didnt think the cous-cous would hold together when fried, but it did.

  We loved these, although they did start to fall apart abit when cooking and the cheese melted. I made 6 fritters though and have the remaining two in the fridge to try cooking from chilled to see if that helps. I served them with homemade caponata and salad.

  I made these to accompany a Moroccan meal and added apricots instead of the SunBlush tomatoes. I also added two eggs instead of one after reading previous comments and as I only had medium eggs. They were really tasty and added a bit of zing to my couscous!

  These just fell apart on me. I think I'd just have couscous with feta mixed through it instead

  I had some trouble with keeping them together at first, and the best way I found to keep them together was make them smaller! Rather than four massive fritters, try separating each into three smaller ones, small enough to fit on the spatula without any overhang - this, combined with the flatter, more compact shape should stop it from falling apart too much.

  These really are delicious! I followed the recipe exactly, including the tip to stir sun-dried tomatoes into the dry couscous before pouring on the stock. I also used McBaa's recommendation and made each larger fritter into three smaller ones. They were the perfect size and did not crack or split. I did try to "cheat" and make one of the large fritters into two (rather than three) pieces and well, that didn't work at all. They cracked when I turned them over - even as gently as I could. Very flavorful and tasty, however, and will be making these again!
