🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a nut-free version, skip the almond garnish and use toasted pumpkin or sunflower seeds if crunch is wanted. For gluten-free needs, replace the couscous with rice, quinoa, or another gluten-free grain; for dairy-free diets, this dish already fits well.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad or steamed green beans to balance the sweet-tart sauce, plus warm crusty bread if you want to make it more filling. A chilled white wine or sparkling water with lemon also fits the bright, savory flavors.
