Moroccan-Style Couscous
Healthy, because

Nutritional values
The spicy Moroccan couscous contains digestive fibres, the nerve-strengthening mineral magnesium, vitamin B3 for fat metabolism and high-quality, muscle-building protein from beef. The shallots also provide essential oils that can stop pathogens that cause illness and thus support the body's defences.
Those who prefer to do without the meat component in this Moroccan-style couscous can replace the minced meat with red lentils and replace the meat stock with vegetable stock.
