Time 35m

Yield 6

1 cup shelled fresh or thawed frozen peas
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • Bring vegetable stock, asparagus, and peas to a boil in a saucepan over high heat.

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. With just a few simple ingredients and a bit of cooking time, you can have a delicious and healthy meal on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful dish, give this broccoli and peas with couscous a try!
