Overall, I thought this was a good recipe. It's a bit different from the traditional Moroccan lentils and couscous that I'm used to, but it's still very flavorful.

The lentils and couscous were a bit mushy for my liking. I think I'll cook them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I found that this recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less paprika and cumin.

I love the addition of raisins and almonds to this recipe. They add a nice sweetness and crunch that really complements the lentils and couscous.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover lentils and couscous. It's also a great vegetarian option that is packed with flavor.
