Mediterranean style couscous

 

This is a healthy kind of fast food. 

Ingredients:

Couscous

vegetables: Capsicum, eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, garlic, shallots, mushrooms ( or whatever you have in the fridge that goes well together)

olive oil

sea salt

black pepper

(fresh) herbs: e.g. rosemary & basil

nuts (up to your preference)

seeds (up to your preference)

blue berries 

Preparation:

Prepare the couscous as per the packaging (soak in boiled water for 5 minutes and fluff up with fork). Capsicum, eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, garlic, shallots, mushrooms, or whatever you have in the fridge that goes well together. Clean and cut the vegetables, fry in the frying pan with a bit of olive oil, add a dash of sea salt, some ground black pepper, add some Italian herbs for flavour (I love rosemary and basil) and stir fry till the veggies are cooked but not mushy. 

Serving:

Serve on a plate with the cooked couscous. I cut up some mixed nuts, added some chia seeds, hemp seeds and fresh blueberries and fresh basil (basil & blueberries are a perfect match). Sprinkle all those over it and voila you have a healthy, tasty, fast meal! 

I make this in many varieties depending on what is in my fridge that day. Instead of couscous you can use quinoa as well.
