This recipe took way too long to make. I ended up having to order takeout because I didn't have time to finish cooking it.

I was disappointed to see that this recipe uses white rice instead of brown rice. Brown rice is a much healthier option and would have made this dish more nutritious.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked to see more spices or herbs added to the couscous.

I always have leftover rice or quinoa in my fridge, so I was excited to try this recipe using couscous instead. It turned out great! The couscous was just as fluffy and flavorful as rice or quinoa, and the raisins and mint added a nice touch.
