Healthy Couscous With Roasted Mediterranean Vegetables (Ww) image

Compromising on calories shouldn't mean compromising on taste. So I came up with this dish that can be a complete meal or served as a side with lean meat. If you have them available, you could add fresh herbs- rosemary or basil would compliment the other flavours nicely. Serves 4 as a side or 2 as a lunch. By my calculations, this recipe contains a total of 11 1/2 points (my book is a few years old though!)

Time 40m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 red onion
1 yellow bell pepper
1 zucchini
1/2 teaspoon Cavenders All Purpose Greek Seasoning (more or less to your taste)
3/4 cup chicken broth (I use 1 stock cube and boiling water)
1 cup couscous
aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350°F or 180°C.
  • Put the olive oil and garlic in a roasting/ baking pan.
  • Finely dice the red onion into small chunks and add to the pan. Stir and cook in the oven for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, finely dice the yellow bell pepper and zucchini. Add these to the pan, with the Cavenders seasoning. Stir, cover with aluminum foil and bake for a further 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, remove the foil and put the veggies back in the oven for a further 10 minutes until just starting to char around the edges.
  • While the veggies finish cooking, make the couscous- heat the chicken broth in a jug or bowl, add the couscous and cover with the foil. Let sit until done.
  • When cooked, fluff the couscous with a fork.
  • Remove the veggies from the oven, add the couscous, stir and serve hot!
