Moroccan Couscous (or Rice) image

A healthy Moroccan dish. The array of vegetables mixed with seasonings on top of couscous provides ample nutrients and delicious flavour. I have successfully substituted rice for couscous. Recipe from "Power Eating".

  • In separate bowl pour 1 cup boiling water over couscous.

I'm not a fan of raisins, so I omitted them from the recipe. It was still delicious!

So easy to make and so flavorful! I'm not a huge fan of couscous, but this recipe changed my mind. The rice was perfectly cooked and the vegetables were tender-crisp.

This Moroccan couscous is a flavor explosion! The combination of spices and vegetables creates a truly unique and delicious dish. I especially loved the hint of sweetness from the raisins.
