Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 40 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Lebanese
Ingredients: 1 cup couscous; 1 ½ cups vegetable broth; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 onion, diced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 zucchini, diced; 1 red bell pepper, diced; 1 yellow bell pepper, diced; 1 tomato, diced; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 1 teaspoon paprika; Salt and pepper to taste; Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable broth until it simmers. Once simmering, remove from heat and stir in the couscous. Cover the saucepan and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until the couscous has absorbed all the liquid. Fluff the couscous with a fork and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until they become translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the diced zucchini, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly tender but still have a crunch.
Stir in the diced tomato, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Add the cooked couscous to the skillet with the vegetables, gently mixing everything together until well combined. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm the couscous through.
Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
