Ingredients
- 1 cup of couscous
- 1 red bell pepper, diced

- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of white wine, optional
- 2 cups of vegetable stock
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, zucchini, and garlic to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring regularly to prevent the vegetables from burning.

Add the couscous to the frying pan and stir to combine with the vegetables for about 2 minutes.
-
Add the wine to the couscous if desired and cook for another minute, stirring regularly.
-
Pour the vegetable stock into the pan and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan and cook for 10 to 12 minutes.
-
Take the pan off the heat and check the couscous is fully cooked. If it’s not, cover and cook for a few more minutes.
-
Fluff the couscous with a fork then season with salt and pepper to taste.
