25-Min Vegetable Couscous


Ingredients

* 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 almonds (optional)

Directions

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Serve at slightly warmer than room temperature. Garnish with orange zest and the grated cheese, paprika, and almonds.


This is nice with a salad and fruit on the side.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
