Couscous and Vegetables
This is almost like a couscous salad, as the vegetabels are served raw; it is an Arab recipe, popular in North Africa, that is usually served with cooked vegetables. Couscous is composed of bran and grains and you can cook it by steaming. Take the liberty of making this dish your own by playing with the types of vegetables and the technique you use to cook them.
