Byron Bay Chilli Company has some great recipes on their website and this one for Moroccan vegetables and couscous is just one of ’em. They recommend serving the dish with a roasted chile pepper salad that’s made by combining roughly chopped roasted peppers and fresh tomatoes, minced onion, garlic and parsley seasoned with salt, pepper, cumin and dressed with lemon juice and olive oil. If you need meat, serve this dish with roasted chicken or grilled lamb on the side.
