Asparagus Couscous with Peas & Zucchini

Photo credit: © Eatwell101.comCouscous with vegetables and herbs! This green couscous is a full accompaniment: vegetables and cereals, it comes out very tasty and fragrant. There really is nothing complicated in the recipe I offer today. Cook the asparagus “al dente” for only  five minutes to have it crisp. I added green peas, zucchini, and a mixture of very fragrant herbs: dill, mint, coriander, parsley, tarragon… Use the ones you love! The pistachios add crunch and originality to the dish. This vegetable couscous will also fit perfectly in your lunch box or picnic basket.
