LEMON COUSCOUS WITH BROCCOLI
I combined two recipes to create this side with broccoli and pasta. The splash of lemon adds nice flavor. Instead of toasted almonds, you could also sprinkle servings with grated Parmesan cheese. -Beth Dauenhauer, Pueblo, Colorado

Tips:
- Choose fresh and vibrant vegetables: Select broccoli florets that are deep green in color and tightly closed, and peas that are plump and bright green. Fresh vegetables will provide the best flavor and texture to the dish.
- Use high-quality couscous: Opt for whole-wheat or Israeli couscous for a more nutritious and flavorful dish. Regular couscous can also be used, but it may cook faster, so adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Broccoli and peas should retain their鮮豔色彩 and crisp texture. Overcooking will make them mushy and bland.
- Use a flavorful broth: Vegetable broth or chicken broth adds depth of flavor to the dish. If you don't have broth on hand, you can use water and add a bouillon cube or some dried herbs for extra flavor.
- Season to taste: Taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Conclusion:
Broccoli and peas with couscous is a simple yet delicious dish that's perfect for a quick and healthy meal. It's packed with鮮豔色彩 and nutritious vegetables, and the couscous provides a satisfying and filling base.
