Chicken Couscous with Spring Vegetables

Community Feedback

Let me share a family secret with you. A lighter variation of the seven-vegetable couscous, using delicate spring vegetables like fresh fava beans, peas, and young carrots. Rooted deeply in our Berber and Andalusian heritage, this is more than just a dish—it's a story told through spices. Trust me, you'll need plenty of crusty bread to soak up every last drop.
