Couscous and Mediterranean Veggie Medley

My hubby asked about this dish tonight, which means he really liked it. I needed to quickly add a veggie dish to our meal tonight and whipped this up. It turned out yummy.



Ingredients
1 box pre-packed couscous
1/2 cup large grape tomatoes
1/2 cups frozen haricot vert (small think green beans)
1/4 cup large Kalmata olives
2 tablespoons extra virgin oil olive
1 clove garlic
red pepper flakes
sea salt (ground)
Fresh ground pepper

Prepare couscous according to box directions. I chose the kind with garlic and pine nuts. But you could toast your own pine nuts and add it yourself.

Slice grape tomotos in half and set aside. Remove pits from olives and rough chop. Finely chop garlic. In small pot heat 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil. When hot add red pepper flakes and let cook until you begin to smell the pepper. Add tomatoes and green beans. Heat up on high heat, until beans are thawed and crisp. Add garlic and olives. Keep mixture cooking and stir until garlic is distributed thoroughout. Reduce heat and let some of the liquid evaporate. Add salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. Stir.

When liquid has thickened a little remove from heat.

Spoon a large serving of couscous onto each plate and then add the veggie mix to the side of it. It's a delicious combo.
