Batch cooking is such a life saver! A simple veggie chopper helps. All I did was cut up a variety of veggies and roast them in the oven on Sunday. Eat some daily. Occasionally get fancy. Using the cooked veggies, this was a 10 minute meal. Plenty for 2 people.
Wash a whole aubergine (eggplant), wrap it lightly in paper towel and microwave it for 6 minutes. While that cooks, put 1 cup of couscous in a bowl, add some seasonings or hot sauce with 1 cup of boiling water. Give it a quick stir and cover for 3 minutes. Lightly chop up 2 cups of your mixed veggies. Mix the couscous and veggies together.
DING!!! Take out the eggplant (aubergine), slice it lengthwise and fluff up the inside with a fork. Smother it with the veggies and couscous. Put some of your sliced carrots on top with parsley as a garnish. Put some broccoli or cauliflower florets around it. Cover with paper towel and pop it in the microwave again for 90 seconds. I seasoned the broccoli with juice from half a lime and a drizzle of maple syrup....
DING DING DING!!!
