How to make Couscous with asparagus, peppers and sugar snap pea pods

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1/2 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon lemon peel, finely grated
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/3 cups couscous
1 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
2 1/2 cups asparagus, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups sugar snap peas, trimmed and cut in half
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1/3 cup chives, chopped
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated

Steps:

To make the dressing, mix oil, lemon juice, garlic, lemon peel and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
In a heavy saucepan, heat 1/2 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add couscous and saute for about 5 minutes, until couscous is golden brown. Carefully add broth. Increase heat to bring couscous to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and the couscous is tender. Add extra broth or water if couscous becomes too dry.
While couscous is cooking, spray a heavy nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over high heat. Add asparagus, sugar snap pea pods, red pepper and garlic. Saute for about 3 minutes or until vegetables are crisp, yet tender.
Transfer vegetables to a large bowl. Add couscous, chives and cheese. Drizzle dressing over the dish and toss to mix.
