This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more herbs or spices to give it a bit more flavor.

Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. The flavors were a bit too subtle for my liking and the texture of the Israeli couscous was a bit too chewy.

I found the recipe to be a bit confusing and the end result was not as flavorful as I had hoped. I think I'll stick to my usual couscous recipe.
