A delightful Mediterranean-inspired couscous dish with vibrant vegetables and aromatic herbs.
Heat the water in a saucepan until it boils.
Adding a pinch of salt to the water enhances the couscous flavor.
In a frying pan, heat olive oil and sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant.
Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the garlic.
Add the diced tomatoes, mushrooms, and bell peppers to the pan. Stir and cook until softened.
Cover the pan to speed up the cooking process.
Stir in the thyme, rosemary, and oregano, mixing well with the vegetables.
Rub the dried herbs between your fingers to release their aroma.
Once the water boils, pour it over the couscous in a bowl, cover, and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Fluff the couscous with a fork after it absorbs the water.
Combine the cooked couscous with the vegetable mixture in the pan. Stir well and heat through.
Ensure the couscous is evenly coated with the vegetable mixture.
Serve the couscous stir-fry warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side of yogurt or tzatziki for added creaminess.
