Ingredients:
- Assorted autumn vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, carrots), sliced into thick strips
- 1 cup couscous
- 2 cups water or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Toss the assorted autumn vegetables with a little oil, salt, and pepper.
- Grill the vegetables until they are tender and have grill marks, usually about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and set aside.
- In a saucepan, heat the ghee or coconut oil over medium heat.
- Add the ground cumin and ground coriander to the saucepan. Sauté for about a minute until the spices become aromatic.
- Stir in the couscous and toast it in the spiced oil for another 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the water or vegetable broth and bring it to a boil.
- Once boiling, cover the saucepan, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the couscous has absorbed all the liquid and is tender.
- Fluff the cooked couscous with a fork.
- Serve the grilled vegetables on a bed of spiced couscous.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
