Recipe of Couscous with chips and tuna.

Vida Recetas Editorial

Couscous with mussels and tuna is a fresh and complete salad, ideal for a light lunch or a quick dinner. This recipe combines semolina hydrated with vegetable broth, which gives it a deep flavor, with the soft texture of mussels and canned tuna, two proteins that complement each other perfectly. The citrus touch of lemon and the crunch of fresh vegetables (tomato, lettuce, bell pepper, and chives) create a very pleasant balance of flavors and textures.

Originally from North African cuisine, couscous has been adapted worldwide for its versatility. In this version, it becomes a very nutritious single dish, thanks to the protein contribution from seafood and tuna, and the vitamins from vegetables. It is perfect for those seeking a healthy meal without complications, as it is ready in less than 30 minutes with pantry ingredients.

You can serve it as a main course or as a side dish to a vegetable grill. If you like spice, add some chili flakes. You can also substitute the mussels with canned clams or baby clams, and the tuna with shredded chicken, to vary the flavor.
