Couscous is a very healthy grain and can be fairly bland unless bold flavors and fresh vegetables are added to bring out the best in it. As you know I love fresh, bold flavors which makes Couscous a very important ingredient in my kitchen to play around with. I think you will enjoy making this recipe because it is simple, delicious, quick and healthy.
