Couscous with vegetables and herbs

4 servings

15 minutes

Couscous with vegetables and herbs is a fragrant dish of Moroccan cuisine that combines the tenderness of couscous with the freshness of vegetables. Historically, couscous was a staple food in North Africa, prepared in traditional clay pots and served with meat or vegetables. In this version, couscous takes on a golden hue from turmeric, while juicy vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes add brightness and rich flavor. The mild spiciness of garlic and fresh parsley adds a touch of zest. This versatile dish is suitable for both everyday dinners and festive tables, and its lightness and richness make it an excellent choice for healthy eating.
