Couscous with grilled vegetable

Ingredients (for 2–3 people)

180–200 g couscous (medium)
an equal amount of water or light broth (about 200 ml)
1 jar of grilled vegetables
extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
a few fresh mint leaves (optional)
lemon juice (optional)

Preparation

1. Bring the water or broth to a boil and add a pinch of salt.

2. Place the couscous in a bowl and pour the boiling liquid over it. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and let it sit for 5–10 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed.

3. Fluff it with a fork, adding a drizzle of olive oil.

4. Add the jar of grilled vegetables (drained if there is excess liquid) and gently mix to combine with the couscous.

5. Adjust with salt and pepper and, if desired, add a drizzle of raw olive oil and a few drops of lemon juice.

6. Garnish with fresh mint if you like.

7. Serve Couscous with grilled vegetable at room temperature or slightly chilled.
