The ratio between eggplant and filling is off.

This dish was bland and the eggplant was mushy. I will make it again. However, the couscous salad that you put on top of the eggplant wouldn't be bad served cold as a side dish. But I would maybe add a little more flavor to it.

I like the recipe, but it's definitely way too much filling! It's ok cause we ate it as a salad (my 2yo loved it), but next time I'll definitely do either less filling, or get more aubergines

This was OK, but not brilliant. 4 out of 10 for me. I stuck to the recipe as this was my first go at this recipe. I think it would be better with added nuts and dried fruit like apricot or dates. Or if you're not veggie or vegan stick some bolognaise in and have the cous cous as a side salad.

It wasn’t tasty and the cinnamon just felt out of place in the dish. It was also pretty time consuming, which is frustrating that the flavors weren’t really there.

I used quinoa instead of couscous. That's what I had on hand.

I liked this but it needed sprucing up. The cous cous filling is bland, so I added middle eastern seven spice and salt. Tahini on top also helps elevate this a lot. But a good base.

Tasted pretty good. We served it with spicy hummus. Half of couscous was enough for us (hubby and myself). I almost burnt my house trying to cook eggplants in oven lol The oven got filled with smoke so I ended up cooking eggplants on grill.

Not that great. The portion size isn't big enough, 4 servings is more like 2, maybe 2,5. Flavout wasn't bad but was very faint and a bit bland. I was expecting more spices and flavors popping from a mediterranian dish. Edit: if you let the filling sit and add extra spices the taste gets better.

My husband gave this the thumbs up to add to our "healthy menu" options during the week.. it was pretty easy to make on a weeknight. I used a touch more ground seasalt to give this a little more lift in flavor.

Needs more flavor. Too much of a nutty flavor to it. Maybe add some peppers or other spices. Used quinoa instead of couscous. maybe that made the difference in taste?
