Last year my best friends introduced me to couscous, but since I didn’t cook much last year, I didn’t really pay attention to it. However, the impression of couscous still stays as –> a very simple and easily made dish.

I couldn’t find couscous in many stores here, but one day surprisingly I found it in Carrefour Kepong (couldn’t even find in Tesco Mutiara).

So, I bought 1 pack for a trial. Surprisingly, I love the taste and it is really simple to make. What I need is just some pasta sauce and some vegetables.

I made this a few times already, and every time the ingredients varies, really depend on what I have in my fridge.

For this one above, I happened to have only some carrots and zucchini left, and I was cooking for myself only. If you have other stuff in your fridge, you can make many variations from it. One that I really like is the combination of eggplants (brinjal), zucchini and carrots. You can use other ingredients like mushrooms, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. And if you like meat, you can include some sausages too.

INGREDIENTS
1/2 zucchini sliced
1/2 carrot sliced
4 to 6 spoonful of tomato pasta sauce (depending on how much saucy you like)
1/2 cup couscous
1 cup boiling water
1 tsp olive oil
Some salt to taste
A pinch of ground nutmeg

METHOD
1. Fry vegetables till golden and frangrant.
2. Add tomato paste and stir fry until well mixed.
3. Cover couscous with boiled water and olive oil and seasonings. Wait for 5 min (or depending on what written on package).
4. Serve couscous on plate together with vegetables.

Yummy, delicious, simple and filling lunch for me!
