Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 green zucchini, quartered lengthwise
  • 2 yellow zucchini, quartered lengthwise
  • 6 spears asparagus, trimmed
  • 12 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 red bell pepper, quartered and seeded
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, quartered and seeded
  • 1/4 cup basil chiffonade (stack leaves, roll in a cigar shape and cut crosswise into thin strips)
  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound Israeli couscous
  • 2 cups vegetable stock, heated
  • Hot water to cover

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard and garlic, slowly add the olive oil and whisk until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Pour 1/2 the marinade over the vegetables and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Preheat the grill. Remove the vegetables from the marinade and grill the vegetables until just cooked through. Cut the zucchini and peppers into 1/2-inch pieces, cut the tomatoes in half. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat, add the couscous and toast until lightly golden brown. Cover the couscous with the hot stock plus hot water and bring to a boil, cook until al dente and drain well. Place in a large serving bowl, add the grilled vegetables and herbs and toss with the remaining vinaigrette. Serve at room temperature.

    I made this to go with grilled lamb burgers....it was so delicious! The couscous soaked up that fire-grilled flavor.

    Toasty and fire grilled---great combo!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Decided to make this for a friend on a warm spring night...boyfriend was unsure because it was sans-meat. I prepared the... recipe as directed, with two exceptions: I cooked 12 oz of couscous instead b/c I didn't want to have any leftover and accidentally put it all in with the veggies (which turned out to be a perfect ratio) and we added goat cheese for a cool balance to the fire-roasted veggies. The only other thing was that I felt there was too much dressing--and I like a lot! I only added about 2/3 of it and saved the rest for another salad. All you could hear were yum-yum noises all around--and the boyfriend thanked me multiple times last night and this morning for a fantastic meal :)Read more

    delicious

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This was such a delicious recipe. It came out SO good. The ingredients are simple and commonly used, but all together they... make a phenomenal dish. Love the Israeli couscous over the typical smaller size used in other couscous dishes. Recipe feeds a lot of people too! Highly recommend this recipe!Read more
