This creamy lemony couscous loaded with zucchini, chick peas, arugula, coconut milk and flavored with lemon and tumeric is on the table in less than 25 minutes and is a perfect cozy main  or side.  Hearty and healthy, it’s a perfect side to any protein or served by itself with a salad and some crusty bread (which is how I love to eat it)
I found this recipe from the wonderful Mia gatherednutrition  and altered it slightly.  She has a similar recipe using rice which is off the charts good. Definitely check her out!

Tumeric Couscous with Chick Peas, Zucchini and Arugula
.
.
1 tbls olive oil
2 small zucchini, diced 
2 shallot, diced
4 cloves of garlic, chopped 
1 cup (uncooked) pearled couscous
2 cups vegetable broth 
1 cup canned full fat coconut milk

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil, zucchini, shallot, and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the zucchini starts to take on a little color. Add the couscous and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. 
Add broth and bring to a simmer. Cover and reduce to a low simmer for 5-7 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed.
