One of my dream locations to visit is the Mediterranean! Although, I probably won’t try to visit for a while. I will have to stick with just eating Vegan Mediterranean Couscous for now!
Couscous is a pasta made from semolina flour mixed with water.
Although couscous is naturally vegan. Most of the time what is added into the dish makes it not vegan!
So we have made a Vegan Mediterranean Couscous!
Enjoy!
