For an extra layer of flavor, toast the couscous in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes before adding the other ingredients. Feel free to substitute other seasonal vegetables such as zucchini, bell peppers, or sugar snap peas based on your preference and availability. If you prefer a milder dish, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño before dicing, or omit it entirely.
