Courgette and mushroom couscous with pine nuts

A good, quick, hot vegan lunch this, with some really good flavours. I might also add in a stir of pesto if you were looking for a non-vegan version. (Also, if making vegan version, make sure your couscous is vegan, as it’s an odd pasta variant thing). This is a fast recipe, so set the couscous going just after you’ve prepped the veg, so that when the veg is cooked you can combine immediately.

Ingredients picture:

prep the veg, start the couscous, NOW! (keeping back a couple of tbsp of stock for later on)

heat the oil over a medium-high heat, and add the courgette and garlic, stir for 2-3 minutes

add the mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, basil and stock

stir fry for 2-3 more minutes, until the courgettes are ‘crisp-tender’

combine with the (fluffed) couscous and pine nuts, stir, season, drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil, and serve!

Mm.
