Warm Grilled Veggie Cous Cous Salad

Warm Grilled Veggie Cous Cous Salad: Thin slices of eggplant, sweet potato, onion & asparagus, perfectly charred & layered atop of almond basil cous cous.  Hel-lo meatless Monday.

Warm Grilled Veggie Cous Cous Salad

When it comes to removing whole food groups from my diet, I show little restraint. I have this on very good authority because I’ve tried. Maybe it’s the old adage of being told you can’t have something making you want it even more. That’s me. I entertain the idea of completely removing any animal products from my diet, for both the animals’ welfare & my health. Instead of deciding never to eat animal products ever again, I’m making better choices.

Warm Grilled Veggie Cous Cous Salad

This involves reducing the amount of meat & animal products I consume. It’s also about making better choices – locally, humanely raised meat & poultry & wild, sustainable seafood. I enjoy days of vegetarian & vegan eating. It’s not only good for my waistline but for the planet.

I’m a work in progress but watch this space ’cause baby I’m workin’ on it. Or workin’ it. Both!

Warm Grilled Veggie Cous Cous Salad

The instant cous cous is ready in 10 minutes &, if you use broth & add some flavorings – fresh herbs, lemon juice (blood orange is also wonderful), toasted nuts, olive oil & a little spice, well you’ve got yourself pretty darn tasty cous cous. 

Warm Grilled Veggie Cous Cous Salad

I made the cous cous & left it to absorb the broth while Finn & I went outside to grill the veggies. This recipes makes A LOT. It’s surprising. And there’s just the two of us. So we’ll be eating leftovers for days. Halve the recipe if you want but this is good cold. It’s hearty & satisfying. And meatless. If you want to go meatless a few times during the week then check out these recipes, they’re a good place to start:

  • Tortellini with Spinach, Artichokes & Sun-Dried Tomatoes
  • Bean & Beans Nachos
  • Roasted Squash, Cannellini Chipotle Chili

Catch you during the week, stay safe,

Ingredients
  1. 2 cups vegetable (or chicken) broth
  2. 15.5 oz (439g) chick peas (garbanzo beans ), rinsed & drained
  3. 10 oz (284g) packet cous cous
  4. 1 tablespoon honey, plus extra for drizzling
  5. 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra for the veggies & drizzling
  6. pinch of salt & pepper
  7. 2 or 3 small sweet potatoes (yams/kumera), thinly sliced lengthways
  8. 1 medium eggplant, trimmed & thinly sliced lengthways
  9. 2 small red onions, thickly sliced
  10. 1 lb (453g) asparagus spears, trimmed
  11. 1/4 cup shredded basil leaves, plus extra leaves for garnish
  12. 2 tablespoons lemon juice, plus extra wedges for serving
  13. 1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds
Instructions
  1. Preheat a barbecue or grill pan to high.
  2. Pour broth into a medium-sized saucepan. Bring a boil over high heat. Add chick peas, cous cous, honey, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt & pepper. Stir until everything is well combined. Remove the pan from the heat & cover with a tight-fitting lid. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  3. While cous cous is ‘cooking’, drizzle the veggies with a little olive oil & sprinkle with salt & pepper. Cook on greased grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side until good char marks appear & veggies are cooked, removing asparagus while it’s still crisp & bright.
  4. Add basil, lemon juice & almonds to cous cous & stir until well combined. Pile cous cous onto plates, top with veggies, drizzle with a little extra honey & olive oil, sprinkle with extra basil leaves; serve with lemon wedges. Serves 6.

If pasta isn’t your schtick, just make the sauce and have the sauce & chicken over rice or if you’re wanting to go lighter on the carbs, serve the sauce & the chicken over broccoli just like I’m doing tonight. A chicken dinner winner 🤣🤣🤣. I’ve been absent for a couple of weeks so needed a shit joke to kick-off being back.

Studio makeover. My studio needed a makeover & new Studio makeover. My studio needed a makeover & new windowsills after some water damage last year (we had to get the roof replaced). So it seemed like a good time to turn my studio into a more inspiring room that matched the rest of the house. I have props in cupboards around the house but wanted the ones I use the most in the studio. I used the top of a hutch (cupboard) I already had from @summerhousefarm & the bottom from @oldetymemarketplace. 
Still a few things to do but back at it tomorrow. I’m going to try and share the ‘before’ otherwise I’ll share it in my stories.
