Just because it’s simple doesn’t mean it’s boring!
For the broth, add water to a saucepan; then add thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, turmeric, cumin, sweet paprika, garlic, and chili to taste. Now cut and add the onion, celery root, and carrot to the broth. Season generously and add a few drops of high quality olive oil. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes and then strain directly onto the couscous. Mix well and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
Uses:
This aromatic couscous is so easy to prepare that you’ll want to eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Try sprinkling it over green salads for an extra bit of substance and texture, or stuff in peppers and bake in the oven with a sprinkling of feta for a nutritious and delicious meal to enjoy on your lunch break.
Enjoy your meal!
