Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1-2 tbsp cooking oil (I use avocado oil)
- ½ lb chicken sausage (thinly cut on a diagonal; about 3 links)
- ¼ onion (chopped)
- 1 bellpepper (chopped)
- 2-3 cloves garlic (minced)
- ¾ cup chopped carrots
- 1 cup couscous ((see notes))
- 2 cups chicken broth
- ⅓ cup frozen corn
- ⅓ cup frozen peas
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- 1
Add half the oil into a large pot or skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add sausage and sear 2-3 minutes each side (in batches if necessary). Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Add remaining oil and onion with a pinch of salt, cooking until translucent on the edges, about 2 minutes. If you'd like softer carrots, add those now too. Then add bellpepper and garlic, cooking for additional minute.

Add carrots if you haven't already, couscous, broth, cooked sausage, and season generously with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and cook on high, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently for even cooking. The liquid should be almost completely absorbed at this point.

Turn off the heat. Stir in corn, peas, and Parmesan. Season to taste.
