Moroccan Lemon Couscous
Jump to Recipe SaveSaved! Pin Recipe This Moroccan Lemon Couscous is a fresh, vibrant dish inspired by the bold and fragrant flavours of North Africa. With zesty lemon, sweet sultanas, and a touch of warm Moroccan spice, this easy side comes together in under 20 minutes.Perfect for busy weeknights or lazy weekend lunches! I love how it pairs beautifully with grilled meats and fish, roasted veggies, or even a simple weeknight chicken breast dinner.You can make it ahead, serve it warm or at room temperature, making it a great option for picnics, potlucks, or meal prep lunches!, Tweak the flavours to suit your taste—add more lemon if you're a citrus fan, leave out the cilantro if it's not your thing, swap the sultanas for chopped apricots.
It's one of those flexible recipes you'll find yourself coming back to over and over again!

Garlic: The recipe states 3 garlic cloves, but you know my mantra! Measure garlic with your heart.Broth/stock: Vegetable or chicken broth/stock is great here.I go for low-sodium options. Lemon: You'll want the zest and some of the juice.
Always zest the lemon before you cut it, as it is almost impossible to zest a cut/squeezed lemon.Raisins/Sultanas:
