Ingredients

1 small zucchini, halved and cut into slices
2 small red peppers, large dice
1 small eggplant, quartered and sliced
Olive oil, to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups couscous
2 cups vegetable stock
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground roasted cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon roughly chopped parsley
2 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 lemon, grated zest and juice

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Place cut vegetables on a baking sheet and drizzle with some olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Place in oven and roast for about 10 minutes. Place couscous in a heat proof bowl and stir in all the spices and orange juice. Bring the vegetable stock to a boil and pour over the couscous making sure it covers the couscous mixture completely. Cover with a plate or plastic wrap and leave for 5 to 10 minutes or until all the stock is absorbed. Stir in the herbs, olive oil, grated lemon zest and juice. Fluff the couscous with a fork and toss with roasted vegetables.

Great!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was so yummy. I did make slight changes, though. I used whole wheat couscous, and low sodium chicken broth. Instead of... regular paprika, I used smoked, which adds another level of flavor. And I added garlic powder to both the veggies and the couscous mixture. I will cook this again and again. Read more
