A vibrant and flavorful couscous dish infused with fresh herbs and zesty lemon, perfect as a side or light meal.
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Using extra virgin olive oil enhances the flavor of the dish.
Add the garlic and turmeric, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Pour in the water, lemon zest, and salt, and bring the mixture to a boil.
Use fresh lemon zest for the best flavor.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the couscous. Cover and let it sit until the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
Covering the pan traps steam, ensuring the couscous cooks evenly.
Fluff the couscous with a fork and mix in the cilantro and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Fluffing with a fork prevents the couscous from clumping together.
Serve the couscous warm as a side dish or light meal.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs for a vibrant presentation.
