COUSCOUS WITH VEGETABLES



Couscous with Vegetables image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ounces couscous (not instant)
1 large red or green pepper
1 large eggplant sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 large zucchini, sliced 1/4 inch thick
Salt
Turmeric
Cumin
Black pepper
2 tomatoes, sliced

Steps:

  • Soak the couscous in cold water for 10 minutes to loosen the grains. Then steam over a saucepan of boiling water or stock for a further 5 minutes. This prevents the couscous from getting sticky and lumpy.
  • Meanwhile burn the outside of the pepper over a naked gas flame. When the skin is black place pepper into plastic bag and seal. Rub from the outside to remove all the pepper skin.
  • Roast the aubergine and zucchini in a preheated 220 degrees F oven.
  • When all vegetables are ready finely chop them up and mix into the couscous. Add salt, tumeric, cumin, and black pepper, to taste. Steam for a further 5 minutes. Garnish with sliced tomatoes and serve.
