Chef Angeli’s Couscous With Veggies Recipe
My intern, Angeli, has worked as a culinary professional for many years. When she was telling a class about one of her favorite quick and easy recipes to make couscous with veggies, I thought it would be perfect to go with our meal!
Couscous is a grain that you can buy either refined or whole, so make sure that you are getting the 100% whole grain version. You can obviously adjust the veggies to your taste.
