I'm not a big fan of raisins, so I omitted them from the recipe. It was still delicious!

I tried this recipe with quinoa instead of couscous and it was delicious! I would definitely recommend trying it this way.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really soupy. I think I added too much liquid.

The garbanzo beans were a bit too firm for my liking. I would cook them for a longer period of time next time.
