About Couscous with broccoli
Couscous with broccoli is a wholesome dish rooted in North African cuisine, often celebrated for its simplicity and versatility. Couscous, tiny granules of semolina wheat, serves as a light base, while steamed broccoli adds vibrant color and a nutrient boost. This combination is frequently enhanced with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and seasonings, crafting a flavorful and satisfying meal. Couscous provides a source of carbohydrates for energy, while broccoli delivers fiber, vitamins C and K, folate, and antioxidants that support immune health and digestion. Low in fat, this dish can be easily customized to suit various dietary needs by adding protein sources like chickpeas or grilled chicken. While couscous is not gluten-free and may lack significant fiber compared to whole grains, pairing it with nutrient-dense broccoli helps balance the dish's overall health benefits. Perfect as a side or a light main course, it’s both nourishing and delicious.
