Ingredients

How to make it

  • 1

    Prepare couscous according to package directions, omitting olive oil. Transfer to large bowl. Stir in 2 tsp olive oil; toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.

  • 2

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add eggplant; cook until browned and soft to touch (about 5 to 7 minutes), stirring frequently. (Add additional tbsp of olive oil if eggplant is browning too quickly and/or seems to be sticking to skillet.) Transfer to paper towel-lined plate; let stand to absorb excess oil.

  • 3

    In same skillet, over medium heat, add tomatoes with liquid, roasted peppers, water, sugar and vinegar. Bring to boil; reduce heat to simmer and cook until all liquid has evaporated (about 12 to 15 minutes), stirring occasionally. Transfer to large bowl; cool to room temperature.

  • 4

    Stir tomato mixture, raisins and olives into cooled couscous. If desired, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese.

  • 5

    Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled as a side dish or a vegetarian entrée.
