Preparation steps

1.
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the vegetable stock to a boil. Spread the couscous evenly in the bottom of a large casserole dish. Add the hot vegetable broth and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Once the liquid is absorbed (about 12 minutes), fluff with a fork.
2.
Meanwhile, cut the eggplant and zucchini into 1-inch cubes and quarter the tomatoes.
3.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; add the eggplant and zucchini and cook until golden brown and crispy. Stir in the tomatoes and cilantro; season with salt and pepper.
4.
Fluff the couscous with a fork again, stir in the vegetables. Drizzle with lime juice and season with spices, salt and pepper. Divide between serving bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs. Serve.
