Easy vegetarian meal idea – Cous cous and roasted vegetables

By Jo on January 20, 2011 • ( 2 )

This is very easy to prepare and is one of my husband’s favourite meals. He says that he would happily eat this everyday!

For 2 people you will need:

1 packed of Ainsley Harriott Spice Sensation Cous Cous or 100 g plain cous cous prepared with vegetable stock according to the instructions on the packet.
Selection of vegetables suitable for roasting – e.g. butternut squash, sweet potato, parsnip, onion.
2 Quorn Southern Fried Burgers or similar (optional)

Roasted vegetables

All you have to do is…

Chop up the vegetables into bit sized pieces. Transfer them to a large bowl. Add 1 tbsp of cooking oil (rapeseed oil is good for roasting) and mix until all the pieces are coated in oil.
Transfer the vegetables to the oven for 40-50 minutes at 200 degrees C, turning occasionally. Remember if you’re using softer vegetables such as courgette and tomato, to add them later, as they will take less time to roast.
Meanwhile cook the Quorn burgers and cous cous according to the instructions on the packets, ensuring they’re ready at the same time as the vegetables.
Then when everything is cooked, mix it all together!

Quorn burgers can be missed out, or substituted for other types of veggie burger, Quorn chicken-style pieces, grated cheese, pan-fried halloumi, tofu or anything else you can think of!
