When I first made this recipe, I thought the taste of the mandarin orange was too overwelming. However, when I heated up the left-overs the next day, I added some basil and it seemed to balance out the citrus taste. - 20 May 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I chilled this rather than serving it warm. We liked it, although I felt it was a bit bland. - 08 Jul 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This is a pretty good dish, although a little dry. But then again, that's couscous. - 08 Feb 2012 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
