Yield Makes 4 (side dish) servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 yellow summer squash, cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
2 red bell peppers, quartered lengthwise
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
3/4 cup toasted Israeli couscous (4 ounces)
1 3/4 cups chicken broth or water
3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil

Steps:

  • Whisk together balsamic vinegar, garlic, 2 tablespoons oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Preheat broiler. Toss zucchini, yellow squash, and bell peppers with half of dressing in a large bowl, then marinate 5 minutes.
  • Broil half of dressed vegetables on oiled rack of a broiler pan 5 to 7 inches from heat, turning over once, until golden brown and tender, about 16 minutes total. Transfer to a cutting board, then broil remaining dressed vegetables in same manner. When cool, cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • While vegetables are broiling, sauté onion in remaining tablespoon oil in a 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat, stirring, until softened, then add couscous and sauté, stirring, 2 minutes. Add broth and simmer, covered, until couscous is just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in broiled vegetables, basil, remaining dressing, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve at room temperature.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds for the almonds in the marinade.

This dish is a great make-ahead meal. You can roast the vegetables and cook the couscous ahead of time, and then just assemble the dish when you're ready to serve.
