Description

Spiced Israeli Couscous with Grilled Vegetables, chickpeas, and cilantro.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Plus Extra For Grilling
  • 1 whole Medium Onion, Cut Into Medium Dice
  • 1 whole Large Garlic Clove, Minced
  • 2 cups Israeli Couscous
  • 2 teaspoons Garam Masala
  • ½ teaspoons Turmeric
  • 3 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 whole Small Zucchini, Trimmed And Quartered Lengthwise
  • 1 whole Yellow Summer Squash, Trimmed And Quartered Lengthwise
  • 1 whole Red Bell Pepper, Stemmed, Seeded, And Quartered
  • 1 can (15 To 16-ounces) Chickpeas, Drained (about 1 1/2 Cups)
  • ½ cups Grape Tomatoes, Halved
  • ¼ cups Chopped Fresh Cilantro
  • 1 pinch Salt And Pepper, to taste

Preparation

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large Dutch oven or soup kettle over medium heat. Add onion; sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; continue to cook until fragrant, about 1 minute longer. Add couscous and spices; cook, stirring frequently, to lightly toast, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chicken broth and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until couscous is tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare a hot charcoal or gas grill fire. Lightly drizzle zucchini, squash, and bell pepper with olive oil and a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper. Place vegetables on hot rack; grill, turning only once, until are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove vegetables from grill, cut them into bite-size pieces, and stir them along with chickpeas, tomatoes, and cilantro into the couscous. Adjust seasonings. Serve.

This is an EXCELLENT dish. So easy to make and sure is flavorful – I especially liked the addition of the garam masala. Gave it a very exotic flavor. Two thumbs up!! thanks for sharing it!
