- Minted Couscous with Roasted Vegetables
Ingredients
- 1 large aubergine, cut into chunky batons
- 450g courgettes, cut into chunky batons
- 1 large red onion, cut into 8 wedges
- 12 cloves garlic, in their skins
- 10 basil leaves, torn roughly
- 1 sprig freshly chopped rosemary
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, plus 150ml / 0.25 pint for the couscous
- 3 peppers, 1 finely chopped for the couscous, the remaining 2 grilled, skinned, quartered and de-seeded
- 4 field mushrooms, sliced
- 15 black olives, pitted
- 225g couscous
- 2 lemons, zest and juice
- 4 tablespoons freshly chopped mint, for the couscous
Method
Step 1
Put the prepared aubergine, courgettes, onion and garlic into a large bowl with the basil and rosemary.
Step 2
Sprinkle with half the olive oil and toss well. Leave to stand at room temperature for 3-4 hours.
Step 3
Pre-heat the oven to 220 C / 425 F / gas mark 7. Spread the vegetables onto a baking tray or trays, in a single layer, and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
Step 4
Roast for 15 minutes, then add the peppers, mushrooms and olives, and toss.
Step 5
Return to the oven and roast for a further 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are tender, turning once more before the end of the cooking time.
Step 6
Put the couscous into a large bowl and pour 600ml boiling water over it. Stir for a couple of minutes and leave it until the water has absorbed and the couscous is tender, about 6-7 minutes.
Step 7
Add the olive oil, lemon juice and zest, and mix them in thoroughly.
Step 8
Stir in the chopped pepper, spring onions and mint. Season with salt and pepper, and serve with the roasted vegetables.
