Couscous with Olives and Sun-Dried Tomato
A delicate, flavorful dish that will satisfy vegans and carnivores alike! Inspired by my family’s deep Coptic Orthodox Christian tradition, this is a great meal alternative during strict fasting times. It contains no animal products or fats, but has enough flavor and visual impact to make you feel like you’re not sacrificing a thing! I hope you will enjoy this recipe. Add chicken or prawns to make this vegan dish a carnivorous delight!
