This dish is a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.

This recipe is a bit too time-consuming for a weeknight meal. I would recommend making it on a weekend.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a hit! The lemon and cilantro add such a unique flavor to the couscous. I also like to add some chopped red onion and feta cheese for extra flavor and texture.

This couscous dish was a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The lemon added a refreshing zing, while the cilantro brought a herbaceous note. The couscous itself was cooked perfectly, with a light and fluffy texture.
