      This was really great, but I found the citrus a little overpowering! I did have to keep an eye on it, as the liquid evaporated quite quickly once I added the couscous. But overall it was nice.

      This was very easy and yummy. Maybe not quite 5 stars for me, but no problem to eat! Thanks mikekey!

      I'm sorry Mike as I generally love your recipes but I had some trouble with this one. Noticed the other reviewers toned down or omitted the heat and decided to do the same so I used just 1/2 teaspoon of chili paste purchased in a local Asian market. While I do enjoy a good amount of heat, in this dish it was still too much. In my initial bites, I could barely taste the lovely citrus notes against the peppers. Halfway through my poor tastebuds were too singed to taste much at all. Tasted the couscous at room temperature and it was much more balanced, but again the citrus and spice were out of balance. still not certain if this was a function of my chili paste or the stated quantities. I do think this has the potential to be 5 stars in my book and will play until I get the balance right. (I eat couscous 2-3 times a week so it will be soon.) Will report back with the results of my experiments.

      Wonderful tasting recipe [well, maybe NOT the recipe itself, but certainly that resulting dish made from it]! I didn't include the chili paste & I DID jack up the zest just a tiny bit! The end result was GREAT, & I'd have been happy to eat is all by itself! Thanks much for sharing it!

      I made this to go with a rich and lemony chicken dish and it was a wonderful co-star. The citrus and spice really hit the spot. I had to omit the chili paste as I couldn't find any locally but everything else went in. Couscous is such an easy thing to make and it can be flavored in so many ways that it always seems the perfect side (or main) dish. The orange and lemon were wonderful here. Thank you Mike for another winner.

      This was an easy recipe to make and the flavour was spicy. I think if you prefer less heat, you can add less chilli paste. I served it as a side dish with BBQ wings and salad. This dish is perfect for a quick and filling meal. Thank you mikekey
