One Pot Pearl Couscous

• total time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

1 onion

1 zucchini

3-4 cloves of garlic

1 cup dried pearl couscous

3 1/2 cups water or veggie broth

1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas

3/4 cup sliced sundried tomatoes

1 cup chopped spinach

1/2 cup chopped cilantro

1/2 cup of light or full-fat coconut milk

2 tbsp nutritional yeast

1/2 tsp salt (+ more to taste)

Directions

Dice an onion, thinly slice zucchini, and peel and mince garlic cloves.

To a frying pan or pot on medium heat, add the olive oil, diced onion and stir often, until translucent.

After a few minutes, add the zucchini, sautéing until softened. Next, add the minced garlic and sauté for another two minutes.

Add the giant couscous and water/broth to the pot, then cover.

Check on the pot every few minutes, removing the lid when the water/broth is almost all absorbed. 5. Taste the couscous to make sure they are cooked through (if too al dente, add a bit more water/broth).

Add in the chopped spinach, cilantro, and sundried tomatoes and mix well.

Finally, add the coconut milk, nutritional yeast, and salt to taste.
