Couscous with vegetables
A North African dish made with steamed semolina grains topped with a medley of vegetables such as zucchini, carrots, and chickpeas, often seasoned with aromatic spices.
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth or water to a boil. Stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until soft.
- Add the sliced carrots, zucchini, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the chickpeas, ground cumin, ground coriander, and paprika. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the spices coat the vegetables well.
- Fluff the couscous again and add it to the vegetable and chickpea mixture, stirring well to combine everything evenly.
- Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the couscous and vegetables. Mix thoroughly to ensure the oil is evenly distributed.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
