Savory Tofu and Vegetables over Tomato Couscous image

I love couscous and found early on that the liquid one uses to cook the dish determines the flavor. So I use a variety of liquids but I'm pretty sure tomato couscous is my favorite. The dish from start to finish takes 30 minutes or less. It serves 4. Any meal that comes in at less than five hundred calories is a bonus.
