Place the chicken stock, 2 tbsp olive oil, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and pepper in a large saucepan and bring to a boil.
Off the heat, stir in the couscous, cover and set aside for 15 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the zucchini and carrots. Fluff the couscous with a fork and add it to the vegetables.
Whisk together the lemon juice and ¼ cup of olive oil and pour it over the couscous. Serve warm or at room temperature. The flavors will meld the longer it sits.
It’s a great accompaniment to the Confit of Chicken Thighs.
