Couscous With Savory Caramelized Onion image

This is the first Moroccan dish I've ever cooked for my family, and they were thoroughly impressed. I thought with all the rich spices, it might be too overwhelming for the kids, but they really enjoyed the combination. A good change from cold couscous salad for the winter. (from the Toronto Star)

This recipe was a bit of a disappointment. The caramelized onions were not as flavorful as I hoped and the couscous was a bit dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the dish turned out great! The caramelized onions were a bit too sweet for my taste, so I added a squeeze of lemon juice to balance it out. Overall, a great recipe that I'll definitely make again.

This recipe is a keeper! The caramelized onions are so flavorful and the couscous is cooked perfectly. I added a bit of chopped parsley and lemon zest to brighten it up, and it was delicious. Highly recommend!
