Tips

Finish the dish with a squeeze of lemon or a drizzle of olive oil just before serving to lift the flavours.

Toss the couscous with chopped herbs like parsley, mint, or coriander for a light, refreshing base.

Serve with a side of Greek yogurt or tzatziki to balance the spice and add creaminess.
