EAT SMART: Tunisian Vegetable Couscous Recipe

Image
I've been trying to figure out a way to incorporate vegetables into my meals and this was the perfect way to do it!  I found this recipe at  allrecipes.com and made some modifications to it based on the comments and the antioxidant levels of some of the vegetables.   This recipe has a large variety of healthy vegetables packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals- nutrients we all need for a fast and effective recovery, especially if we're deficient!  This recipe works well with rotisserie chicken, but not so much with fish.  I'm still experimenting with this so feel free to leave a comment below with suggestions! If you've never tried Tunisian food before, the ground cardamom might be a little strong on the  palate, but personally, I really enjoyed the aroma and flavor of this spice .  Honestly, I was hesitant to buy the cardamom at first because it was almost $13, but it was worth it since I plan to make a lot more of this in the future. Prep time: 20-
