Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Brazilian
Ingredients: 1 cup of couscous; 1 ½ cups of vegetable broth; 2 tablespoons of olive oil; 1 small onion, diced; 2 cloves of garlic, minced; 1 zucchini, diced; 1 red bell pepper, diced; 1 yellow bell pepper, diced; 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved; 1 teaspoon of paprika; 1 teaspoon of cumin; Salt and pepper to taste; Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth until it comes to a boil. Once boiling, remove the broth from the heat and stir in the couscous. Cover the saucepan with a lid and let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the couscous to absorb the liquid. Fluff the couscous with a fork and set it aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until they become fragrant and translucent.
Add the diced zucchini, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper to the skillet. Cook the vegetables until they start to soften, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Incorporate the cherry tomatoes into the skillet, stirring gently to combine them with the other vegetables.
Sprinkle the paprika and cumin over the vegetable mixture. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Continue to cook the vegetables until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Once the vegetables are cooked to your desired consistency, add the cooked couscous to the skillet. Gently mix everything together, ensuring that the couscous is evenly distributed among the vegetables.
Allow the dish to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the Vegetable Couscous to a serving dish. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a burst of freshness and color.
