What goes well with Meditteranean Couscous?

Question

This coucous has onions, chicken, curry powder, carrots, some other spices. What would be good to serve with this... something along the same origin...

I would like to serve some kind of sides... I don't know ab out wserving pita and hummus? Something like this... Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Chicken & couscous go well together, I would go with a lemon & herb marinade (greek) either grilled or broiled.

it will offset & balance the spicyness of the couscous.

since you have chicken in the couscous, try this marinade with fish or even shrimp skewers & veggies.

can have an apps of hummus/baba ghanouj & pita
