Mediterranean Roasted Vegetable Couscous

---

This is one of my favourite, quick and healthy evening meals. I chop all the vegetables up and pop them in the oven; the rest takes 5 minutes to pull together. I normally grill some lemony chicken to go with it, but it’s delicious on its own.

Steps

---

In a hot oven put the red onion , peppers , garlic and courgette in an oven proof dish with a drizzle of olive oil.

---

When roasted remove and place to one side until couscous ready.

---

Turn off oven and put pine nuts in for 5 mins as oven cools down - do not let burn.

---

In a heat proof bowl combine the couscous with cumin , coriander , cinnamon , juice and zests of lemon , lime and orange and hot chicken stock.

---

Cover for 5 minutes.

---

Fluff the couscous with a fork and add the apricots , chopped mint and coriander , pine nuts , roasted vegetables and roasted garlic.

---

Season with salt and pepper and serve.
