Couscous is a North African dish of small steamed balls of crushed durum wheat semolina that is traditionally served with a stew spooned on top. In this recipe I have used the couscous to make a delicious Moroccan inspired savoury bite filled with zucchini, carrots and corn.
It makes a great appetizer…perfect for entertaining!
