This recipe was okay. The lamb was a bit dry and the couscous was a bit mushy. I think I might have added too much water to the couscous. I will try it again and be more careful with the amount of water I add.

This recipe was a bit disappointing. The lamb was a bit tough and the couscous was a bit bland. I think I might have overcooked the lamb, so I will try it again and cook it for a shorter amount of time.
