For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as carrots or eggplant, to customize this dish to your liking. If you prefer a sweeter couscous, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup after fluffing. Toasted almonds or pistachios make a delightful crunchy topping. This couscous can be served warm or at room temperature, making it perfect for potlucks and picnics.
