How to use this list
Begin by checking your pantry for dry goods like pearl couscous, golden raisins, sliced almonds, and spices such as cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, and ginger. Look in your fridge for fresh produce: zucchini, carrots, red bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, garlic, and fresh mint. Confirm you have olive oil and kosher salt. Pick up canned chickpeas and vegetable broth if you’re low. Roast the vegetables, simmer couscous in broth, and combine with chickpeas, raisins, and spices. Finish with almonds and mint before serving.
What to skip
Don’t use regular couscous in place of pearl couscous; the texture is different and changes the dish. Avoid canned vegetables; fresh zucchini, carrots, and tomatoes hold up better when roasted. Some skip the golden raisins, but they add the sweet balance this recipe needs. Pre-ground spices are fine, but double-check freshness for best flavor.
