Roasted Vegetables and Couscous

My friend introduced me to this dish, and my husband and I love it; the kids are warming up to it:)

General Ingredients
1-16oz. box of couscous
6-8 oz crumbled or diced feta cheese

Roasting Ingredients
1 med eggplant, diced into 1" pieces
2 red peppers, cut into small pieces
1 lb mushrooms, sliced
5-6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 zucchini, skinned and diced
3 TBSP olive oil
dash of kosher/sea salt
dash of pepper

Dressing Ingredients
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
splash of balsamic vinegar
2 TBSP olive oil
4 tsp. basil

Directions

Prepare couscous according to package directions.

Combine the roasting ingredients in a large bowl. Toss well. Broil for 5-10 minutes until eggplant is browned.

Mix together the dressing ingredients while vegetables are broiling.

Toss everything together well. Top with feta cheese and serve.

Note: Capers or a ground meat (such as lamb) would be a great addition to this meal. It also serves well cold.
