Cooked Veggies on Couscous (vegetarian!)

Simple, yummy, and meat free (for all you vegetarians!), this dish is a perfect post-work out dinner. It's packed with protein, and who doesn't love couscous?


You will need:
1/2 cup of water
1/2 cup of couscous
1 tbsp of lemon juice
1/2 sweet potato, peeled and diced
1/2 red pepper
1/2 yellow pepper
1 small zucchini
1 handful of mushrooms
1/2 cup of chickpeas
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tbsp of balsamic vinegar
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 tsp rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup of crumble feta
1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro

Serves 2 (or so).

Prep:
1. Preheat oven to 450 F
2. Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in couscous and lemon. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand until ready.
3. In a large bowl, toss together all vegetables, chickpeas, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Spread vegetable mixture in a large roasting pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Roast for about 25 minutes, stirring once or twice, until vegetables are tender.
4. To serve, combine hot vegetables, cooked couscous, feta cheese, and fresh cilantro in a large serving bowl and toss well. Enjoy!!!
