  This takes couscous from ordinary to extraordinary ! Recipe easily halved, and would generously serve three people. Loved it.

  Simple, exotic and delicious! I didn't know I can cook a Moroccan dish so easily. This will be one of my favorites.

  I cooked this for a dinner party for ten people, served with the Lamb and date tagine. It went down a storm...everyone loved it. However, the quantities on the couscous for ten is really not enough. I upped it to 500g of couscous, but it still all went and my guests would have eaten more if there had been some available! To be generous, I think 700-750g would be a bettere quantity. Very tasty and delicious with the tagine.

  Really nice served with the Moroccan Lamb receipe on here. I used Ainsleys own brand of moroccan cous cous with this as worked well with the lamb dish. Was delicious

  Made this today to go with Lamb Tagine was lovely. Couldn't find any fresh mint so used dried, brilliant. Would be good served as a salad.

  Quick and easy, great as a side dish for BBQs as well as the lamb tagine recipe as suggested. I add chick peas and feta and sometimes use giant cous cous instead of the normal type, which also works really well.

  I originally made this to serve with another GF recipe, Fruity lamb Tagine, and it was the perfect accompaniment. It is so easy and delicious that I have made it many times since. It makes a great lunch to take to work when you add roasted veg and rocket salad, chargrilled chicken or falafels with houmous and pitta bread. It also introduced me to Harissa paste; what a versatile ingredient! I have been adding it to chillis, marinades, soups etc...It has become one of my store cupboard essentials.
