Dijon Veggies with Couscous Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 20 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

20 20 40

Ingredients

1/2 pound medium fresh mushrooms, quartered
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 medium sweet red pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup dry red wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup water
1 cup uncooked couscous

Directions

Place an 18-in. x 12-in. piece of heavy-duty foil on a large baking sheet; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the mushrooms, zucchini and red pepper. Combine the wine, mustard, oil, garlic, horseradish, salt and pepper; drizzle over vegetables. Toss to coat; transfer to baking sheet. Top with a second large piece of foil. Bring edges of foil pieces together; crimp to seal, forming a large packet.
Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in couscous. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand for 5-10 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork. Transfer couscous and vegetables to a large serving bowl; toss to combine. Yield: 6 servings.
