Directions
-
In a large pot, combine the vegetable broth, carrots, onions, turnips, celery, and cinnamon stick.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and cover.
-
Simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
-
Remove the cinnamon stick and discard. Transfer the cooked vegetables to a serving bowl and cover to keep warm.
-
Measure 2 cups of the hot cooking liquid from the pot and pour it into a heatproof bowl containing the couscous (assuming standard 1:1 ratio for couscous, adjust based on package instructions if different).
-
Cover the bowl with a plate or foil and let stand for 5 minutes to allow the couscous to absorb the liquid.
-
Fluff the couscous with a fork until light and airy.
-
Gently fold the tender cooked vegetables into the fluffy couscous, mixing until evenly distributed.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed, then serve warm.
