This is very good! Not as juicy as I expected, but still very good. I added a pinch of cayenne and about 1 Tbs f/f feta to each serving. Using whole wheat couscous, this is 7 WW pts/serving, and a dish that works with the "Simply Filling Technique" (old Core program). A fabulous keeper! Thanks for sharing.

This made a nice, filling, healthy stew that was perfect for the bone-chilling weather we have been having. Preparation was easy enough--just a few things to chop. The fragrance was wonderful but the flavor from the seasoning was surprisingly subtle. If I make this again, I will probably play around with the seasoning amounts. This provided an easy, painless way to get veggies in our diet. Thanks for posting.

I really wanted to like this, but it ended up being un-exciting. I left out the raisins due to personal preference, and I used an entire can of chicken broth, and I upped the spices slightly to compensate, but it maybe wasn't enough. The end product had a lovely texture and fragrance, but served over couscous, it just didn't have the spicy flavor I'd expected.
