1 red pepper, deseeded and cut into quarters
2 zucchini, thickly sliced
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
12 ounces couscous
9 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
12 basil leaves, finely shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Place the peppers, zucchini and garlic cloves in a bowl with a little oil and stir to coat everything lightly. Tip into a roasting tin and roast for 30 minutes, until tender.
  • Meanwhile, pour 2 1/2 cups boiling water over the cous cous and leave to soak until all the water has been absorbed.
  • Remove the vegetables from the oven and discard the garlic cloves.
  • Place the peppers in a plastic bag, knot the end and leave for 10 minutes; then peel off the skin and cut the flesh into strips.
  • Place the couscous in a large serving bowl. Stir well to break up any lumps and add the warm vegetables, cherry tomatoes, feta and basil.
  • Toss together. Whisk all the dressing ingredients together and pour over.
  • Serve.
