  I made this the other day, adding some Moroccan spices to the couscous. One of my 2 year old twins chose this over the meat option ahe loved it so much.

  I'm really sorry to say this was a big disappointment, as I love all the ingredients and was looking forward especially to this dish for xmas lunch. First of all, it wouldn't fluff up/cook properly for me and I had to mess around with adding more this and that at the last minute, without much success - it still ended up a bit heavy and gloopy. That could be down to my own fault with liquid measures, but most disappointing for me was the awkward texture of the seedy pomegranate seeds with the rest of the soft ingredients. I realise the seeds do often have a bit of a hard crunch inside, but it was really strange to encounter a mouthful of that after taking a bite with the soft outside, fluffy cous cous and soft apricots. For me the combination just did not work.Sorry.
