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

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.

Fluff the couscous with a fork and toss with roasted vegetables.

I did not make this recipe as written but what I loved the most was the cous cous! With the vegetable stock and orange juice, it is just great! And so easy, too!

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.

This is a GREAT recipe for everyone to keep in their aresenal! I made this the first time with the citrus salmon and invited friends over. Now, everytime I cook, no matter what the entree is, they ask for this by name!! It's simple and flavorful and you can't go wrong pairing this with anything from baked chicken to fish!! Thanks so much for bringing us Danny's recipes. I look to him for a unique and flavorful recipe anytime I want something for the crowd.
