About Couscous with vegetables

Couscous with vegetables is a wholesome dish rooted in North African and Mediterranean cuisine. Made from steamed semolina grains, couscous serves as a versatile base that is typically combined with a medley of sautéed or roasted vegetables like zucchini, carrots, peppers, and tomatoes. Packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, the vegetables complement the light and fluffy couscous to create a nutrient-rich meal. Often seasoned with spices such as cumin, paprika, and turmeric, this dish is aromatic and flavorful. Couscous itself is a source of carbohydrates, providing energy, though whole wheat versions offer more fiber and nutrients. The dish can be tailored for additional protein by incorporating chickpeas or lean meats. While generally healthy, it’s important to watch portions and avoid excessive oil or salty sauces that could add unwanted calories or sodium. Its adaptability and balanced profile make it a global favorite for nourishing meals.
