Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  3. While the couscous is cooking, saute/fry the vegetables. On a large saucepan, spray the extra virgin olive oil on the pan or possibly brush with a pastry brush. Add in the water and heat over moderate heat till the water starts to simmer. Add in the eggplant strips, carrots, garlic, salt and pepper. Saute/fry till soft, adding a little more water if too dry. Then turn off the heat.
  4. In a mixing bowl or possibly blender, mix the chickpeas, tahini paste, lemon juice, and vegetable broth. Using a hand blender or possibly blender, blend into a smooth paste. Then add in the egg replacer or possibly potato starch, and the flour. Blend till smooth.
  5. With the heat turned off on the large saucepan, add in the chickpea (hummus)
  6. mix to the vegetables and coat well. Then add in the couscous and mix the vegetable/hummus mix into the couscous.
  7. Lightly grease a glass bread loaf pan with extra virgin olive oil. Add in the couscous/vegetable/hummus mix. Press into the loaf pan. Dust the top of the loaf with paprika and black pepper.
  8. Bake 50-55 min. Let stand 10-15 min before serving. Serve in thick slices with a green vegetable such as cooked spinach, a salad such as lettuce topped with fresh orange slices, and if you like, a bread such as hot whole-wheat pita bread. - Mary Howard
