Steamed Veggies and Couscous

 

Looks delicious doesn't it???

I normally cook for one, which means when I buy a box of couscous, I don't eat it all and a lot of it goes to waste. While at the grocery store, I stumbled upon a jar of couscous. I can measure out however much I want and I don't waste any. Problem solved.

With that said, I put two of my favorite dishes together. Steamed veggies and couscous. I'm a genius... I know.

So here's what you'll need:

For the veggies:
1 zucchini, sliced and cut in half
1/2 orange bell pepper, sliced
A handful of fresh spinach
Lemon juice
Perfect Pinch - Original All Purpose 

For the couscous:
1/2 cup couscous
1/2 cup water
Garlic powder
Salt
Pepper
Parmesan cheese

What you do:

For the veggies:
1.) In a steamable bag, add a little water, sliced zucchini, bell pepper and fresh spinach.
2.) Steam in the microwave for about 2 1/2 - 3 minutes.
3.) Carefully open the bag and put a little lemon juice and sprinkly on some Perfect Pinch. Shake the bag to coat.

For the couscous:
1.) Boil water in a sauch pan. When water is boiling, add couscous and let stand for about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
2.) Sprinkle on some garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste.
3.) Top it with a little parmesan cheese.

*Optional: If you love lemon just as much as me. Add some lemon pepper to both the veggies and couscous.

Pour the couscous in a bowl and top with the steam veggies!

Enjoy!
