ROASTED PECAN COUSCOUS WITH SUN DRIED TOMATOES AND MUSHROOMS
Roasted pecans, sauteed onion, mushrooms, and garlic marry beautifully with Parmesan, sun-dried tomato pesto, and couscous. If you wish, stir in cooked chicken and more veggies to make it a complete meal. I regularly add shelled edamame for a boost of meatless protein.

Steps:
- Spread the pecan pieces onto a baking sheet and place in a cold oven.

TOMATO BASIL COUSCOUS SALAD
This is a great salad for picnics since the dressing is made with oil and vinegar, not mayonnaise. It's so good, though, that I serve it year-round. --Karen Scales

ROASTED POTATOES WITH TOMATOES, BASIL, AND GARLIC
Simple and light. The roasted tomato gives a light and tangy flavor which balances with the starchiness of the potatoes. Use a red or yellow potato for best flavor. Garlic, fresh basil, and a hint of rosemary add to the aroma. My girlfriend loves this as a side with chicken or pork.

ROASTED-GARLIC BASIL SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Wrap garlic cloves tightly in foil. Cut zucchini into 1/4-inch-thick slices and season with salt and pepper. Put foil-wrapped garlic and zucchini on a baking sheet and roast in middle of oven until garlic is tender and zucchini is pale golden, about 15 minutes. Unwrap garlic and cool.
- Have ready a bowl of ice water. In a saucepan of boiling water blanch basil and parsley 10 seconds and drain in a sieve. Refresh herbs in ice water to stop cooking and drain in sieve. Sauce ingredients may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and kept separately, covered and chilled.
- In a blender blend garlic, zucchini, herbs, water, and lemon juice until smooth, about 1 minute, and season with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe tomatoes. You can also use canned diced tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before using.
- If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil. However, fresh basil will give your dish a much more vibrant flavor.
- Be careful not to overcook the couscous. It should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
- If you want a vegetarian version of this dish, you can omit the chicken or use a vegetarian protein substitute, such as tofu or tempeh.

This roasted garlic couscous with tomatoes and basil is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
