Vegetable Couscous with Salted Herbs

Couscous pairs well with lamb, chicken, pork, sausage, fish dishes… in short, you’ll understand it’s a versatile dish. My children like to add pieces of sausage and serve it all in a red bell pepper. For me, it’s my first choice to serve with my lamb tagine.

You can use frozen vegetables or fresh carrot, bell pepper, onion, and celery cubes.
