25-MINUTE TUNISIAN VEGETABLE COUSCOUS



25-Minute Tunisian Vegetable Couscous image

A perfect summer meal. What I love about this recipe is the practicality; it is both quick to make and can wait for you; there's no hurry to serve. It's also a satisfying vegetarian meal that even carnivores love, or if a member of your household prefers meat, a chicken breast poached in water, wine, and paprika and then sliced very thin can be added. I do highly recommend the garnish I devised; it can be made very quickly while the couscous is cooking. Or even if you just zest a navel orange over this dish, the aroma is heavenly and it brings the flavors together. Enjoy!

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red onion, chopped
1 zucchini, coarsely chopped
1 yellow squash, coarsely chopped
1 carrot, coarsely chopped
1 red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup sliced baby portabella mushrooms
4 cups vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 (16 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
2 roma tomatoes, sliced
2 cups dry couscous
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese (optional)
1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
1 tablespoon finely chopped toasted almond (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large pot over medium-low heat. Place onion, zucchini, yellow squash, and carrot in pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to soften and turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the red and yellow peppers and mushrooms; cook another 3 minutes. Vegetables should still be firm.
  • Pour in the vegetable stock and season with paprika, cardamom, salt, and cilantro. Bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat to low. Stir in chickpeas and tomatoes. Slowly pour in the couscous; stir. Cover pot immediately and remove from the heat. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff couscous with a fork. The couscous should have absorbed about half the cooking liquid.
  • Serve at slightly warmer than room temperature. Garnish with orange zest and the grated cheese, paprika and almonds.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI TUNISIAN-STYLE (VEGAN FRIENDLY)



Grilled Zucchini Tunisian-Style (Vegan Friendly) image

For this delicious summertime recipe I combined elements from two separate recipes printed in the cookbook Mediterranean Light: Zucchini Ajlouke (see Recipe #173461) and Tunisian Zucchini Salad. Assignment: Grill a surplus of vegetables from our CSA box: organic zucchini, yellow summer squash and carrots. If the zucchini you're using is large, go ahead and peel it. Sometimes the peel can be tough on those larger specimens. The carrots were included for color and to add a wee hint of sweetness, too. For vegan version, omit the yogurt or use your favorite non-dairy substitute.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 lb zucchini, approximately (1-inch thick slices and about 4-5-inch long)
2 -3 carrots (1/4-inch slices and about 4-5-inch long)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove
1/2 tablespoon harissa, to taste (see this super easy homemade version ( Easiest Moroccan Harissa or Hot Sauce)
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin or 1/4 teaspoon cumin seed
1/4 teaspoon caraway seed
juice of half lemon
plain yogurt
fresh cilantro (FRESH!) or fresh parsley (FRESH!)
salt, to taste
cracked black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Whisk together the marinade/dressing ingredients.
  • Slice up the vegetables and place on a lined baking sheet or large pan in a single layer.
  • Brush the marinade/dressing onto the slices of vegetables. Turn over and brush on the other side. If time allows, cover and let sit for 1 hour to allow flavors to intensify.
  • Heat up a grill or stove top pan grill on medium heat.
  • Place the vegetables on top and grill on each side until the vegetables have grill marks. The zucchini/squash will probably cook faster than the carrots. The zucchini shouldn't be too mushy but still firm.
  • Transfer to a serving platter. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with the fresh cilantro or fresh parsley. Serve with a bowl of plain yogurt for garnish.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature. Servings are estimated.
