Couscous is among one of the healthiest grain-based products. A very good replacement for
rice or pasta. And it is so quick and easy to prepare and have I mentioned it is delish!
I added roasted vegetables to mine to give it more body and more filling. The roasted
vegetables adds an extra flavor to it.
