Ingredients
- 1 cup couscous
- 2 cups water
- ½ lb asparagus washed and trimmed
- 2 bell pepper red
- 1 red onion
- 8 oz shiitake mushrooms washed and sliced, or baby portobello mushrooms
- 1 ½ cups orange juice
- ⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 shallot peeled and minced
- salt
- black pepper
- olive oil
- cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Bring water to a boil over medium heat, in a large pot.
- Add a drizzle of olive oil and pinch of salt to the water.
- Add couscous to boiling water. Stir and cover pot. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add shallots and cook until slightly browned.
- Add orange juice, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced by about ⅓ (approximately 10 minutes).
- Stir in 3 tbsp of the balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Preheat grill.
- Slice red bell peppers and onions into 1" thick strips.
- Combine all veggies in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and the remaining balsamic vinegar. Toss to coat.
- Grill veggies in a large grill basket, until softened and slightly charred. Should take about 5-10 minutes.
- Remove cover from couscous and use a fork to stir - it should result in a fluffy texture.
- Serve the grilled veggies over the couscous with a spoonful of orange-balsamic sauce.
- Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
