    Enjoyed this alot and have cooked it many times. Serve with yogurt if you find the harissa a bit too spicy. My couscous took at least 10 mins to cook.

    Really enjoyed this, I used Rose Harissa instead as it was all I could find - this is not as spicy as normal harissa. I took the advice and made a cucumber yogurt to go with it. I think that this was needed as otherwise I think it might have been slightly dry. Will be making again soon.

    Absolutely gorgeous!! I made this as a starter without the cous cous and then served moussaka as a main course. Had never even heard of harissa before I saw this recipe and could only find the rose harissa. Not cheap but adds a lovely kick to the tuna. Served with freshly chopped minted yoghurt which made a perfect accompaniment. Will def be making this again.

    This was really tasty - I've done it a couple of times substituting different grains, but keeping the tuna the same. Natural yoghurt mixed with mint is also quite a nice side dish as purplebo suggested. If it's too dry however you're cooking your tuna too long!
