Quick Moroccan Chickpea and Vegetable Couscous, Posting for ZWT 6 North African From The Quick Recipe 4 – 6 servings as a main dish or 8 servings as a side , We really enjoyed this recipe! This was also a great way to introduce my family to couscous With vegetables and flavors that are recognizable to them, the new texture was easy to accept used 1/2 cup each of both parsley & cilantro (Not too sure what the recipe was asking for as far as which ingredient & how much total ) In the future I’ll make just a half recipe, as we ate a lot but still have about 6 servings leftover Thanks for posting, Boo! Made & enjoyed for the Celebrity Couscous Caper Challenge – ZWT-6 Team Xtra Hot Dishes! 🙂
