SkinnyMediterranean: Couscous

Sharing is caring!

Skinnymixer’s Couscous features in the Sides section of the cookbook SkinnyMediterranean.

The Couscous is a cookbook exclusive recipe…

Couscous that’s anything but boring! Sweet pops of raisins, crunchy almonds and warm spices turn this speedy Moroccan inspired side into the star of the table.

Although Couscous originates from Northern Africa, it is considered to be one of Morocco’s national foods. It is the perfect vessel to soak up the beautiful spiced Moroccan Pumpkin Tagine sauce or the Moroccan Chicken Meatballs.
