A delightful and flavorful couscous dish packed with vibrant vegetables and Mediterranean-inspired seasonings.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding vegetables to enhance their flavor.
Add the chopped carrots, onion, and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until they are tender but still crisp.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Stir in the dried basil and black pepper, mixing well to coat the vegetables.
Toast the spices slightly in the skillet to release their aroma.
Add the couscous to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables.
Ensure the couscous is evenly mixed with the vegetables for consistent flavor.
Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat.
Let the couscous absorb the broth completely for a fluffy texture.
Let the skillet sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff the couscous with a fork.
Fluffing with a fork prevents the couscous from clumping together.
Serve the couscous warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Add a sprinkle of fresh parsley or cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
