Eggplant, Red Capsicum, Zucchini and Pearl Couscous Salad with Tahini Dressing
by Bronwen Laight
Directions
Cook Israeli couscous according to packet directions and set aside in a large bowl. Heat a generous amount of oil in a large pan to very hot then add the diced eggplant. Turn heat down to low-medium and cook, stirring frequently, for a few minutes. Add the diced red capsicums and keep stirring frequently. When the eggplant is looking golden brown and is soft through add the zucchini and cook for a few more minutes. Remove from heat and season to your taste. Dressing: whisk all of the dressing ingredients together in a bowl until smooth. Mix the cooked vegetables, the tahini dressing and the chopped parsley into the couscous. Serve as a side dish or as a light lunch Note: for a gluten free option substitute quinoa for the Israeli cous cous
The quality of the produce is fantastic, far better than anything we have previously bought from supermarkets. We love the variety in the veg bags, including being able to try new things.
