Moroccan Lentils And Couscous

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I see the good reviews, but for me, the measurements seem to be really off on the spices because it came out super bland. I needed to add more salt, garlic, cumin, etc. I also added diced tomatoes. The onions were a little weird cut into slices so I ended up chopping them as well,I made some flat bread to go with as I thought it needed some texture. The ratio of lentil mixture to couscous was off. It made very little couscous compared to the lentils so that the serving sizes seemed off. Just my opinion.
