Recipe Reviews

Nice but not particularly mind-blowing. It needs a lot more spices than specified (try using the double amount), and I felt that the sauce was too much liquid too - either cut back on the amount of liquid added, or try to make the sauce thicker one way or other.

Edited to add:
It also tastes nice cold, especially on such hot days as these. Definitely double the amount of spices and add some salt.

Edited 7 January 2015:
I made this again and used the double amount of spices - much better already, but still not particularly impressive. But even so, it is so easy to make that I guess it will end up being a standard on our weekday dinner menu. I forgot to add less liquid, but solved that by using the cooking liquid to cook the couscous, which works quite nicely.

I would also suggest changing the ratio of the vegetables - I don't think courgette/zucchini works particularly well in this dish, though I'm not quite sure substituting an aubergine for one of the courgettes would make it any better. Definitely add more raisins, perhaps one or two bell peppers, and possibly more chickpeas?

Upgraded from a 3 to a 4 star rating.
