Preparation method
Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 25 mins1.
Remove the seeds from the red pepper, and chop into 2cm strips. Cut the aubergine into rounds about 1cm thick, and cut each round into 6 to 8 pieces. Peel the onion, and chop into 8 wedges. Trim the courgette, and cut into thick slices.
2.
Heat barbecue tray (charcoal pan) over high heat with a generous splash of olive oil. When it is very hot, add all the vegetables to tray. Press down occasionally to get grill lines across them. Turn occasionally to prevent burning. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are evenly browned and cooked through.
3.
Stir broad beans, chopped tomatoes and vinegar into the vegetables. Simmer for a few minutes while the couscous is prepared.
4.
Place couscous into a medium bowl. Add boiling vegetable stock, and stir with a fork. Keep lifting the couscous occasionally to prevent it sticking. It only takes 2 to 3 minutes to become soft. Place couscous in a large bowl or serving platter, and serve the vegetables on top.

Used different ingredients.
This was wonderful!! I did make 2 substitutions, I replaced the aubergine with quartered button mushrooms and the broad beans with green pepper strips. I will definately make this again for a change.

I was disappointed in this dish. The sauce was overwhelming and none of the vegtables retained an individual flavour or texture.

This is a great dish full of flavour. Wonderfully colourful too. I served this with Chicken Breast. On the side I had Berber Bread and Black Olives. Also served with my Moroccan Mint Tea. Reminds me of my Morocco.

Very delicious! I prepared this meal for my vegetarian friend, but I liked the dish as much as her. Great sauce, wonderful taste combinations. Pretty easy to make.

This was pretty good. I would probably add some garlic or something more to flavour it but it was a change from my normal cooking to taste the vegetables so clearly without curry or spice or sauce on it. I liked the tomatoey flavour. I will probably make this again because it is so easy.
