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

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
½ cup sliced baby portabella mushrooms
4 cups vegetable broth
½ teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
¼ 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
½ teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon finely chopped toasted almonds

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.

Categories     Grains

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 cups, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups uncooked couscous
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, cubed
1 large green pepper, cubed
1 large zucchini, cubed
2 potatoes
2 carrots
14 ounces chickpeas
4 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon chili paste or 1 tablespoon harissa
1/2 tablespoon paprika
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Saute onion and olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add tomato paste, chickpeas, and 1 cup of water, and allow to boil for 15 minutes.
  • Cut vegetables, place them into pot, add 4 1/4 cup of water, and bring to a boil. Allow to cook for 30-45 minutes, or until veggies are cooked.
  • To prepare couscous, place it into a colander or sifter, replacing about 1 cup water with tomato sauce. (NOTE: I used couscous that only needed to sit in hot water for 5 minutes to cook. When doing so, I used 1 cup water and 1 cup of the sauce).
  • Place couscous in a large bowl, pour some of the sauce over it, and arrange vegetables on top.
