✔️Couscous is one of the easiest, fastest, most versatile side dishes that you can make.
✔️Couscous it’s wonderful with stews or saucy main dishes, but you can also make wonderful salads with cooked couscous that has been allowed to cool down prior to adding the rest of the ingredients.
✔️For added flavour, cook the couscous in vegetable or chicken broth and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
Health Benefits:
✔️Couscous contains Selenium which is a powerful antioxidant that helps your body repair damaged cells and decreases inflammation.
