A flavorful and easy-to-make couscous dish with a Mediterranean twist, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat.
Using a good quality olive oil enhances the flavor of the dish.
Add the chopped carrots, zucchini, and green onions to the pot and sauté until slightly softened.
Cut the vegetables into even pieces for uniform cooking.
Stir in the chickpeas, parsley, paprika, and salt, then pour in the water.
Use vegetable stock instead of water for added depth of flavor.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then sprinkle in the couscous and raisins.
Distribute the couscous evenly to ensure it absorbs the liquid properly.
Cover the pot, remove it from heat, and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Keep the lid on to allow the couscous to steam and fluff up.
Fluff the couscous with a fork and serve warm.
Garnish with additional parsley for a fresh touch.
