Tips To Prepare It

When adding the vegetable broth to the couscous, make sure it is hot and cover it completely so that it cooks perfectly. (You can do this in a saucepan with a lid or in a bowl covered with plastic wrap).

When cooking the bacon for the couscous, there is no need to add oil, as the bacon will release its own fat.

For this recipe for couscous with zucchini and bacon, we use homemade vegetable broth, but you can also use ready-made broth sold in supermarkets. I recommend using natural broth for best results.
