Add a photo love couscous and I found a whole wheat version at Trader Joe’s. The perfect grain for our Food from the Heartland month and I knew just what I wanted to pair it with! Grilled vegetables and Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup whole wheat couscous
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup spinach, raw
Directions
- Combine water, 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add couscous. Stir. Remove from heat, cover and let sit for 5 minutes. While the couscous is sitting covered, drizzle the 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a saute pan. Put the zucchini, mushrooms and red pepper in the pan. Stir the vegetables around in the pan to coat with the oil. Saute the vegetables until just tender.
- Mix the Parmesan cheese into the couscous. Divide the raw spinach equally between four plates. Spoon the couscous over the spinach (divide this evenly between the four plates, about 1/2 cup on each plate). Spoon the vegetables evenly over the four plates. Serves 4. Dig in and enjoy!
