1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
Ingredient note
Fresh ginger is generally considered bladder-friendly, and the small amount in this recipe (~1/4 tsp per serving) is likely fine for many people with interstitial cystitis. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp ground turmeric
Ingredient note
Turmeric can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/8 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid turmeric, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
1 ½ cups whole-wheat couscous
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped (optional)
