Ingredients:

Serving

2 red peppers, cut into 1-inch dice
1 yellow squash, cut into 1-inch dice
1 zucchini, cut into 1-inch dice
1/4 lb french haricots vert , cut on the bias into 1-inch pieces
3 tbsp olive oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper
3 cups vegetable stock
1 pinch saffron
1 tsp salt
2 cups couscous
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, coarsely chopped

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place the vegetables in a medium baking dish, toss with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Roast for 8 to 10 minutes until vegetables are just cooked through. Bring vegetable stock, saffron and 1 teaspoon of salt to a boil in a medium saucepan, let boil for 5 minutes, until saffron blooms and colors the stock.
Add the couscous, stir, cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until all liquid is absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes.
Place couscous in a large bowl, add the roasted vegetables and parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with diced red pepper and cilantro.
