This recipe was okay, but I've had better. The couscous was a bit dry and the vegetables were not very flavorful. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

Not a fan of this recipe. The couscous was mushy and the vegetables were bland. I won't be making this again.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The couscous was dry and bland, and the vegetables were overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The couscous was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were tender and flavorful. I think next time I'll use less harissa or omit it altogether.

This recipe is a winner! The couscous turned out perfectly fluffy and flavorful, and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. I added a bit of extra harissa for a spicy kick, and it was fantastic. Will definitely make this again.
