Chunky Vegetable couscous – A stunning, rainbow of every vegetable we could think of makes for a very lovely appearance. An innovative blend of nine, yes nine, spices give it more flavor than one dish should ever have. We opted for a ring of hot, healthy white couscous to bring out all the other flavors.
