Moroccan Couscous (or Rice) image

A healthy Moroccan dish. The array of vegetables mixed with seasonings on top of couscous provides ample nutrients and delicious flavour. I have successfully substituted rice for couscous. Recipe from "Power Eating".

  • In separate bowl pour 1 cup boiling water over couscous.

I'm not a fan of raisins in my couscous, so I substituted dried cranberries instead. It was still delicious!
