Instructions

  1. In a medium pan, cook couscous according to the package instructions.
  2. Heat a large pan over medium heat, heat oil. Add in your asparagus, bell pepper, and garlic, and cook until tender, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  3. To season, add a little salt & pepper. Fold in with couscous and diced tomato, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add extra flavor: Lemon juice with minced parsley pair nicely with this dish.
  • Don’t overcook the veggies. Leaving the vegetables with a bit of crunch makes a better-tasting veggie couscous.
  • Works hot or cold. This means you can eat it hot for dinner and save the leftovers to carry for an easy weekday lunch.
