Number Of Ingredients 21

Cilantro yogurt
3 cups (loosely packed) fresh cilantro leaves (from 3 large bunches)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
1/2 cup sour cream
Roasted vegetables
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
2 1-pound eggplants, unpeeled, cut into 1-inch cubes
6 tablespoons corn oil
1 1/4 pounds medium zucchini, halved lengthwise, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
3 large red bell peppers
Couscous
2 tablespoons corn oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon curry powder
3 cups water
2 cups (12 ounces) plain couscous
1/2 cup coarsely chopped roasted salted cashews
1/4 cup dried currants
Peach Chutney

Steps:

  • For yogurt:
  • Combine cilantro, lime juice, and salt in processor; blend to coarse puree. Transfer to medium bowl; mix in yogurt and sour cream. Season with pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
  • For vegetables:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray 2 large baking sheets with nonstick spray. Mound eggplant cubes on 1 sheet; drizzle with 4 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Spread out evenly. Mound zucchini on second sheet; drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Spread out evenly. Roast eggplant and zucchini until golden and tender, turning occasionally with spatula, about 25 minutes for zucchini and 50 minutes for eggplant. Transfer vegetables to bowl and cool.
  • Meanwhile, char peppers directly over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in paper bag; let stand 10 minutes. Peel and seed peppers. Cut 2 peppers into 1-inch pieces. Thinly slice remaining pepper and reserve for garnish.
  • For couscous:
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté until soft, about 6 minutes. Mix in curry powder; stir 1 minute. Add 3 cups water; bring to simmer. Cover; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer curry water 10 minutes.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large pot. Add couscous and stir constantly until color darkens and couscous is toasted, about 3 minutes. Mix in hot curry water. Turn off heat, cover pot, and let stand until couscous is tender and curry water is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Fluff couscous with fork to separate grains. Mix in cashews and currants and cool completely. Mix in eggplant, zucchini, and bell pepper pieces. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Mound salad on large platter; garnish with reserved bell pepper slices. Serve with cilantro yogurt and chutney.

Tips:

  • To achieve perfectly roasted vegetables, ensure they are cut into uniform sizes for even cooking.
  • Enhance the flavors by tossing the vegetables in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices before roasting.
  • For a crispy texture, arrange the vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet without overcrowding.
  • Roast the vegetables at a high temperature (425°F or 220°C) to caramelize and brown them.
  • Pay attention to the roasting time; overcooked vegetables lose their vibrant colors and nutrients.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of fresh herbs before serving to brighten up the flavors.
