I didn't have any dates on hand, so I used raisins instead. They worked well in the dish and added a nice sweetness.

The couscous was a bit dry. I would recommend adding more liquid, such as broth or water, to the recipe.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less dates or adding some tart fruit like cranberries to balance out the sweetness.
