Stir the ingredients and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Then add the sliced zucchini, raisins, lemon juice and cinnamon. Season with pepper and salt.

Simmer the vegetables for another 2 to 3 minutes until all the vegetables are warmed through but still crunchy. Check the seasoning and add extra pepper, salt, cumin, cinnamon or lemon juice to taste.

Stir one last time, then take the pan off the heat. Scoop the cooked couscous onto plates and top with the vegetables. Serve hot.
