Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, sautéing until softened (about 5 minutes). Then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Spices and Tomatoes

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes break down and create a sauce.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Seafood

    Add the shrimp, mussels, calamari, and octopus to the pot. Gently stir to combine. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Cook the Couscous

    Add the Israeli couscous and saffron to the pot. Cover and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes or until the couscous is tender and the seafood is cooked through.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving. Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
