Cuisine: Moroccan
Ingredients: 1 cup couscous; 1 ½ cups vegetable broth; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 onion, diced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 1 teaspoon ground coriander; 1 teaspoon paprika; ½ teaspoon cinnamon; ½ teaspoon turmeric; Salt and pepper to taste; 1 red bell pepper, diced; 1 yellow bell pepper, diced; 1 zucchini, diced; 1 carrot, sliced; ½ cup raisins; ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley; Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook for another minute to toast the spices, allowing their flavors to bloom.
Add the diced red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, and sliced carrot to the pan. Cook the vegetables until they are slightly softened, about 8-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a separate pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Once boiling, remove the pot from the heat and stir in the couscous. Cover the pot with a lid and let the couscous steam for 5 minutes.
Fluff the couscous with a fork to separate the grains. Then add the cooked vegetables to the pot, along with the raisins and chopped parsley. Gently toss everything together until well combined.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt, pepper, or any of the spices to suit your preference.
Serve the Moroccan Spiced Vegetable Couscous warm, with lemon wedges on the side for a hint of freshness.
