About Cous cous with veggies

Couscous with veggies is a vibrant and nutritious dish rooted in North African cuisine. Made from small granules of durum wheat semolina, couscous serves as a light, fluffy base for a medley of colorful vegetables such as zucchini, bell peppers, carrots, and onions. Often seasoned with a mix of aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric, it delivers a warm and earthy flavor profile. Couscous is a good source of carbohydrates, providing sustained energy, while the vegetables contribute essential vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants for overall health. While generally low in fat, some recipes may include olive oil for richness, a heart-healthy fat if used mindfully. This dish is versatile, easy to prepare, and can be adapted for vegan, vegetarian, or omnivore diets. However, for those avoiding gluten, substituting gluten-free grains like quinoa may be more suitable.
