Grilled Zucchini and Bell Pepper Couscous Recipe
Grilled Zucchini and Bell Pepper Couscous Recipe-July 2024
Jul 2, 2025 6:19 AM

  

Ingredients

Serves 4

  1 pound zucchini (about 3 medium)

  1 small red bell pepper

  1 teaspoon olive oil

  2 small garlic cloves

  1/2 teaspoon salt

  1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

  1/2 cup chicken broth

  3/4 cup water

  3/4 cup couscous

  

Step 1

Prepare grill.

  

Step 2

Trim zucchini and cut each lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Quarter bell pepper lengthwise, discarding seeds, stem, and ribs. Brush zucchini with oil and grill with bell pepper on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until zucchini is just tender and pepper is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes on each side. (Alternatively, vegetables may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.) Cut zucchini into 1-inch-wide pieces and cut bell pepper into 1/4-inch-wide strips.

  

Step 3

Mince garlic and mash to a paste with salt. In a dry 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan toast cumin seeds over moderately low heat, swirling pan occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth and water and bring to a boil. Add couscous and immediately cover pan. Remove pan from heat and let couscous stand 5 minutes. With a fork fluff couscous and in a bowl toss with vegetables, garlic paste, and salt to taste.
