Curried Corn Couscous with Chicken Spinach Cranberry
This is a Moroccan style couscous recipe. It is often so simple and enjoyable to create a surprisingly flavoured couscous dish with what we have in the kitchen. In this recipe, corn couscous is used, it has the same texture and similar cooking method as wheat couscous but it is gluten-free, perfect for making a light and balanced diet.
