  Very good. I've made it with acorn squash and small butternut; the seed cavity in the butternut was quite small so I scooped out the cooked squash and added it to the stuffing mixture. I added a bit more parsley and some coriander as well. It's good with cooked rice as well as with couscous. One quibble; how big is a teacup? I used my teacup but it gave too much coucscous. A clearer measure would be helpful

  Bit disappointing - felt like it needed some sauce with it, a bit dry.
