“This is a healthy, delicious, and easy side dish that takes about 10 minutes to make. I'm borrowing the name from Pasta Primavera which, like this recipe, takes advantage of fresh, seasonal, green produce.” - by Chef John

Directions

Combine couscous, green onion, jalepeno, olive oil, cumin, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a large bowl; stir until olive oil is completely incorporated.
Bring vegetable stock, asparagus, and peas to a boil in a saucepan over high heat.
Pour stock, asparagus, and peas over couscous mixture; shake bowl to settle couscous into liquid. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then stir in mint and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Also, I didn't c..." See moreook any of the vegetables, just added them with the boiling broth and let it all sit. Sooooo good. The mint really added a nice touch."
