- 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.
- 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.
- With the heat turned off on the large saucepan, add in the chickpea (hummus)
- mix to the vegetables and coat well. Then add in the couscous and mix the vegetable/hummus mix into the couscous.
- 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.
- 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
