  2. 1 1/4 cupsvegetable broth (about 280 ml)
  3. 5 1/3 ouncespitted candied dates (about 150 grams, you can use less if you prefer it less sweet)
  4. 2.8 ouncesgreen bell pepper (about 80 grams)
  5. 2.8 ouncesred bell pepper (about 80 grams)
  6. 2.8 ouncescucumber (about 80 grams)
  7. 1.8 ouncesred onion (about 50 grams)
  8. 1pink tomato
  9. Arugula
  10. Juice of half a lemon
  11. 1 splashextra virgin olive oil
  12. 1 splashvinegar (preferably Louit)
  13. 1 splashcaramelized balsamic vinegar
  14. 1/2 teaspoonMoroccan spices
  15. 1 teaspoonIndian spices
  16. Ground cumin
  17. Salt and pepper

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, place the dry couscous, add the spices and salt, and mix well to combine everything evenly. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the vegetable broth and wait for it to boil. Meanwhile, chop all the vegetables 🔪 🌶 and the dates, and set them aside.

  3. 3

    When the broth starts to boil, pour it into the bowl with the couscous and stir well to keep it fluffy. After a couple of minutes, it will be ready. If you find it too dry, you can always add a bit more broth by heating it first. I like it very fluffy, and sometimes I prefer to adjust it rather than overdo it.

  4. 4

    When the couscous cools, add the lemon juice, oil, vinegar, and all the vegetables except for the arugula, which we'll use as a bed for serving to prevent it from clumping. Finally, add a splash of caramelized balsamic vinegar, and it's ready! 😋
