My boyfriend made this for dinner one night. It was absolutely fabulous. I normally don't eat couscous, but this was flavorful with bursts of crunch and sweet. Easy to make and even better to eat!

I loved it. I keep trying different recipes to get my husband to like couscous, and this didn't do the trick. BUT I love couscous and this was a great recipe. We didn't have dried apricots, so used a dried fruit medley and it was fantastic.

This makes A LOT and I did not enjoy it nearly as much as the Greek-style Couscous. Probably won't be making this one again.

This recipe had good flavor but the texture of coucous is not good.

I did not add the mint. The apricots were good, but canned manderine oranges would work also.

I didn't have apricots so I used mandrin oranges, which still tasted fine - it was the mint that was weird. I didn't think it went very well with the dish. I'll make this one again, without the mint.

Very light and healthy side dish. It was my first time to make couscous and I thought it turned out great. All of the ingredients really compliment eachother well. I served this with pineapple pork and sugar snap peas. I felt like I was dining in the caribbean! Will make again.
