This vibrant Tomato & Lemon Vegetable Couscous is a delightful medley of flavors and textures. The finely sliced white onion and crushed garlic are gently fried in olive oil, releasing a fragrant aroma that fills the kitchen. Sweet potatoes, red pepper, and green beans add a colorful and hearty touch, while the cinnamon and chili powder provide a warm, spicy undertone. As the couscous absorbs the rich vegetable stock and chopped tomatoes, it becomes tender and flavorful. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of black pepper finish the dish, enhancing its bright and zesty character. Perfect for a satisfying meal.
