Directions
Minted Couscous With Roasted Vegetables, Couscous, traditional Berber food, is one of North Africas’ great dishes Here, mixed with lemon juice and mint and served with roasted vegetables, it makes a memorable meal This is a family favourite, my youngest DD in particular is a couscous addict! (Preparation time does not include 3 – 4 hours marinating time) From Linda McCartneys World of vegetarian Cooking, A delicious summer salad that looks so involved to make, but is really quite easy! used homemade vegetabe stock instead of water for the couscous, and as I didn’t have any aubergine, used a yellow squash (zucchini) and five portabella mushrooms I also tossed in most of a pint of grape tomatoes that had been roasted I only used half the olive oil prior to roasting the veggies – I didn’t add any more when making the salad, as it didn’t need it – it was delicious enough! And I did toss in some feta cubes, too Delish! Thanks, Karen Elizabeth!
