Ingredients
 
 

  • 200 g couscous
  • 400 ml water
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 carrot diced
  • 1 cucumber diced
  • 1 tomato diced
  • 1 eggplant diced
  • 1 onion diced
  • 5 Tbsps olives sliced
  • fresh parsley chopped
  • olive oil to taste
  • salt and ground pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat some oil in a large pan.
  • Add all the veggies, except tomatoes, olives, and cucumber. Season with salt and pepper and saute for 5 minutes.
  • Add couscous and water. Cover, then boil until fluffy and all the water has been absorbed.
  • Remove from heat. Add diced tomatoes, cucumber, olives, and chopped fresh parsley. Add olive oil to taste. Mix.
  • I prefer this couscous salad served cold, but you can also eat it while it's hot.
