Moroccan Couscous with Roasted Vegetables, Chick Peas and Almonds
My favorite couscous recipe! It's brimming with bright Moroccon flavors and packed with fresh veggies. You even get some protein from the almonds and chick peas. It's a great lunch on it's own or for dinner pair it with chicken, lamb or beef. It makes great leftovers too!
