This dish is what my husband always requests when I ask what he wants for dinner. It's particularly easy because I combine store bought cous cous with a mix of fresh vegetables (how very Sandra Lee of me, right?) In terms of flavor combinations, I love the tomato lentil flavored cous cous by Near East and season the vegetables with cinnamon, cumin and garlic powder for an earthy sweetness.
Start by gathering a bunch of fresh vegetables... it doesn't matter what kind or how much, just improvise with what you have sitting around! For this version I used broccoli, spinach, red onions, red peppers, carrots, raisins, cherry tomatoes and mushrooms. If you want to add protein, opt for a can of garbanzo beans!
Heat up some olive oil in a pan, add your vegetables and season with salt, pepper, cinnamon, cumin and garlic powder.
Remove when all the vegetables are thoroughly cooked.
Next,make the cous cous following the box's specified directions.
