ROAST VEGETABLES WITH PINE NUTS AND GOATS CHEESE
The vegetables you use are up to you though I do find that some kind Cabbage relative like cauliflower and brussels sprouts work very well along with something sweet like butternut squash. In the end it is up to your personal tastes. The amount of time it takes to cook the vegetables can very based on the vegetables you use. Be very careful when getting some color on your pine nuts. They go from golden brown to burned very quickly.

- If you don't have pine nuts, you can substitute another type of nut, such as almonds or walnuts.
- To make the couscous ahead of time, cook it according to the package directions and then let it cool completely. Store the couscous in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- When you're ready to serve the couscous, simply reheat it in a pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it's warmed through.
