Preparation steps

1.
Preheat oven to 350º F. Coat a large casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Bring the stock to a boil, remove from heat and stir in the couscous, cover and let sit for 6 minutes.

Heat the oil in a skillet, saute the onions until translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes, add the garlic and saute until fragrant about 1 minute. Add the chopped tomato pulp, mushroom stems, and zucchini cook briefly until softened, about 3 minutes.
