This was a lovely dinner over whole wheat couscous. I did not use the broth, just a spray of cooking spray. When it came time to simmer I did add a little crushed tomato to make it a tad more soupy. I do think next time I'll increase the spices quite a lot. It smelled heavenly though and about double the spice should do it. Yum.

I tried this last night and doh! i forgot the lemon juice! i don't think this really detracted from the recipe though. i made caraway seed dumplings with mine instead of couscous or rice and popped them in for about 20 mins. i also added (as suggested in another review) ground caraway seeds and substituted 1 red chilli instead of cayenne pepper. We loved the flavour and if my husband says he'd eat it again, something must be good!! ;o)
