What You’ll Need:

  • 1 cup couscous
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as thyme or oregano)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Step 1: Prepare the Couscous

In a medium-sized pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add in the couscous. Stir well and cover the pot with a lid. Let it sit for about 5 minutes or until the couscous has absorbed all the broth and is fluffy. Fluff the couscous with a fork to separate the grains.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and golden. Next, add the diced carrot and cook for a few minutes until slightly softened. Finally, add in the diced zucchini, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes. Sauté the vegetables until they are tender-crisp.

Step 3: Season the Couscous

Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, add the cooked couscous to the skillet. Sprinkle in the dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Gently toss everything together until the couscous is well-coated with the flavors.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Transfer the vegetable couscous to a serving dish and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. This dish can be enjoyed as a standalone meal or served as a side dish alongside grilled chicken or fish. It’s a great option for a healthy and filling lunch or dinner.

Now that you know how to cook vegetable couscous, don’t hesitate to experiment with different vegetables and seasonings to make it your own. This simple and nutritious dish is sure to become a favorite in your home.
