This was very good, but I had to make some substitutions so I chose not to rate it in case I changed the recipe too much. I used sweet potatoes not squash, I read the recipe wrong and used garlic, not ginger, used less black pepper, black beans not garbanzo, a 19 can of tomatoes and less carrots. I also added a handful of dried cranberries because I felt like a sweeter dish. And when I went to get the couscous I was out, so I used basmati rice. All those substitutions said, it was easy and very flavourful. I would definitely make this again. Even my 17 year old loved it and polished off the leftovers that night. Thanks for the recipe.
