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.

HEALTHY COUSCOUS WITH ROASTED MEDITERRANEAN VEGETABLES (WW)



Healthy Couscous With Roasted Mediterranean Vegetables (Ww) image

Compromising on calories shouldn't mean compromising on taste. So I came up with this dish that can be a complete meal or served as a side with lean meat. If you have them available, you could add fresh herbs- rosemary or basil would compliment the other flavours nicely. Serves 4 as a side or 2 as a lunch. By my calculations, this recipe contains a total of 11 1/2 points (my book is a few years old though!)
