Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Moroccan
Ingredients: 1 cup couscous; 1 ½ cups vegetable broth; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 onion, finely chopped; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 1 red bell pepper, diced; 1 zucchini, diced; 1 carrot, diced; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 1 teaspoon ground coriander; ½ teaspoon ground turmeric; ½ teaspoon paprika; Salt and pepper to taste; Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the diced red bell pepper, zucchini, and carrot to the saucepan. Cook the vegetables until they begin to soften, stirring occasionally, for about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, salt, and pepper. Allow the spices to toast for a minute to enhance their flavors.
Pour the vegetable broth into the saucepan and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Once the broth is simmering, stir in the couscous. Cover the saucepan and remove it from the heat. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the couscous to absorb the broth and cook through.
Fluff the couscous with a fork to separate the grains and combine them with the vegetables and spices.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the Couscous with Vegetables and Spices hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro for a burst of herbal freshness.
