Vegan Couscous with Carrots

Today we have a super simple recipe that will be on the table in no time on a hot day.

Couscous is a fabulous thing! Not only that it tastes great and is perfect for both hot dishes and salads. It is also ready to eat in a few minutes. I always boil it briefly, but actually it is also completely enough to pour hot water over it and let it soak for a while. Perfect, then, for a quick dish that can be prepared in just a few easy steps and a short amount of time. The carrots and the spices bring in a sweet, oriental note. If you like it a little sweeter and even more authentic, you can of course mix in dried cranberries or raisins :)

For 4 servings you need:

• 200g couscous

• 6 large carrots

• 1/2 tbsp. coconut oil

• 2 tbsp. soy sauce

• 300ml soy milk, unsweetened

• 1/2 tsp of turmeric

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp cumin

• 1 tsp ginger

• 1/2 bunch of parsley

Preparation:

1. Prepare 200 couscous according to package instructions.

6. Let everything simmer with a closed lid and medium heat until the carrots are soft (5 - 10 minutes).

7. If the carrots burn, you can add a little water.

8. Set aside some of the carrots for garnish.

9. Puree the remaining carrots with the soy milk and 1/2 bunch of parsley until smooth and season with salt and pepper.

10. Then mix the puree well with the couscous.
