AUBERGINE AND MUSHROOM COUSCOUS
This is another example of something I came up with while rummaging through my cupboard. The reason I am using the term aubergine rather than "eggplant" is because I came up with this recipe while in France. This is wonderful as a side dish to grilled meats such as lamb, steak or chicken.

Steps:
- In a bowl, mix the aubergine and the mushrooms with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon curry spice and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Set them aside for 2-3 minutes to 'degorge' the aubergines; to rid them of bitterness.
- In the meantime, mix the couscous, raisins, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon curry spice, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme in a bowl.
- In a frying pan, saute the aubergine and the mushrooms in the E.V olive oil until softened and browned, about 5 minutes.
- Pour boiling water over the spiced couscous so that the water comes about 1/4 inch. Cover with a lid and let stand for 2 minutes.
- NOTE: After the 2 minutes, fluff the couscous with a fork and test to see if it is cooked enough. If it still has a bite to it, add another tablespoon or so of water and recover to cook another 30 seconds or so.
- Take the lid off the couscous and add the teaspoon of butter and fluff with a fork. Add the sauteed mushrooms and aubergine.
