A vibrant and aromatic couscous dish inspired by Moroccan flavors, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Using a non-stick skillet can help reduce the amount of oil needed.
Add the green onions, garlic, tomatoes, and zucchini to the skillet and sauté until softened.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
Stir in the chickpeas and spices, cooking for another 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
Adjust the spice levels to your preference by adding more or less cayenne.
In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil and add the couscous and salt.
Cover the saucepan immediately after adding the couscous to trap the steam.
Remove the saucepan from heat, cover, and let the couscous sit for 5 minutes to absorb the liquid.
Fluff the couscous with a fork after it has absorbed the water for a light texture.
Combine the sautéed vegetables with the couscous and mix gently.
Mixing gently ensures the couscous remains fluffy and doesn't clump.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Chop the parsley finely for a more even distribution of flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful Moroccan couscous.
Pair with a side salad or flatbread for a complete meal.
