- Preheat your grill to high heat.
- Brush vegetables lightly with olive oil, and place them under the grill. Cook, turning over occasionally, until just tender. Watch they don't burn
- While the vegetables are grilling, bring water, salt, 1 tablespoon olive oil and couscous to boil in a large pot. Once the water has come to a boil, remove the pot from the heat and let it stand 5 minutes. Fluff the coucous with a fork when done. Let couscous cool to room temperature.
- Toss couscous with veggies and drizzle with remaining olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Okay...the first time around, I made this as a side dish for some pork chops. My fiance said it was bland. There were leftovers, since he wasn't fond of it (I thought it was okay). Anyway, the next day, I sauteed some tofu and threw the leftover couscous in, making a vegetarian one-pan dinner of sorts. It was brilliant! I highly recommend adding the tofu. - 08 Oct 2008
Used different ingredients. I added two chicken stock cubes to the water which gave the couscous some flavour and used roasted tomatoes and red onions as that was all I had around. I sprinkled it with balsamic vinegar dressing which gave it some great flavour. It turned out pretty good...I will definitely make this recipe again, my three year old loved it! - 08 Oct 2008
This was a little bland. While I will make it again, I'll make some changes, like using stock instead of water and adding some roasted onions with the other veggies. - 08 Oct 2008
