Notes
- Add extra flavor: Lemon juice with minced parsley pair nicely with this dish.
- Don’t overcook the veggies. Leaving the vegetables with a bit of crunch makes a better-tasting veggie couscous.
- Works hot or cold. This means you can eat it hot for dinner and save the leftovers to carry for an easy weekday lunch.
