This vegetable dish is a balanced meal even without meat. Couscous is a carbohydrate that provides fast energy and the vegetables contain vitamins such as the cell-protecting vitamin C from the zucchini. The garbanzo beans also add tons of plant protein.

You can easily make your own vegetable broth from leftovers.

Preparation steps

1.

Peel the onions and quarter. Rinse the eggplant and zucchini, trim and roughly chop. Rinse the peppers, cut in half and remove the stems, seeds and pith. Roughly chop 1 pepper and finely dice the other. Peel the garlic, cut in half and crush with a knife. Peel the carrots, quarter lengthwise and cut into cubes. Blanch in boiling salted water for about 4 minutes, drain, rinse under cold water until cool and drain.

2.

Rinse the chickpeas in a colander. Rinse the coriander, shake dry and finely chop the leaves.

3.

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or saucepan. Sauté the onions, eggplant, zucchini, roughly chopped peppers and garlic, stirring. Add the carrots and chickpeas, stir in the tomato paste, peeled tomatoes and spices and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4.

Meanwhile, for the couscous: Bring the vegetable broth to a boil with the finely diced peppers. Add the couscous, remove from the heat and let stand for 4-5 minutes. Transfer the vegetable ragout to serving plates, drain the couscous and add to the plates and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve immediately.
