Algerian Couscous with Spiced Vegetables and Chickpeas

1.In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the couscous. Cover and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the couscous absorbs the broth.

2.Fluff the couscous with a fork and set aside.

3.In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

4.Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

5.Stir in the diced carrot, zucchini, red bell pepper, and green beans. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

6.Add the chickpeas to the skillet along with the ground cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for another 5 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld.

7.Serve the spiced vegetable and chickpea mixture over the fluffy couscous. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
