Tiny couscous granules are made from semolina, just like pasta. They are steamed with golden raisins, chopped parsley, and cinnamon. The addition of garbanzo beans completes this light, delicious, and colorful dish. A rich stew of green zucchini, yellow squash, onions, and carrots is offered on the side.

  • 2⅓ cups couscous
