Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and softened, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, paprika, and cinnamon. Let the spices toast for a minute to release their flavors, stirring constantly.
-
Add the diced tomatoes with their juice and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
-
In a separate skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced carrots, diced zucchini, and yellow bell pepper. Sauté the vegetables until they begin to soften, about 5-6 minutes.
-
Pour the vegetable broth or water into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Bring it to a simmer, cover, and let the vegetables cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
-
While the vegetables are simmering, prepare the couscous according to package instructions using the remaining vegetable broth or water.
-
Fluff the cooked couscous with a fork and divide it among serving plates. Spoon the spiced vegetable stew over the couscous, making sure to include a generous amount of the flavorful sauce.
-
Garnish the dish with fresh cilantro or parsley for a burst of freshness and vibrant color.
-
Serve the Couscous with Spiced Vegetable Stew warm.
