I have a delicious aubergine/eggplant couscous salad to share with you today. It is so simple to prepare but looks very impressive and tastes wonderful. You can substitute the aubergine for another grilled vegetable if you prefer. I sometimes use grilled courgettes instead. Adapt it according to your own taste.
Aubergine Couscous Salad
Ingredients
1 large aubergine/eggplant , sliced into 1cm rounds
3 tbsp olive oil
140g couscous
225ml hot vegetable stock
200g cherry tomatoes , halved
handful basil leaves, roughly chopped
100g buffalo mozzarella cheese
juice 1⁄2 lemon
Method
Heat grill to high. Put the aubergine on a baking sheet, brush with oil and season. Grill for about 15 mins, turning and brushing with more oil halfway, until browned and softened.
Meanwhile, tip the couscous into a large bowl, pour over the stock, then cover and leave for 10 mins. Mix the tomatoes, basil and cheese and remaining oil together. Fluff the couscous up with a fork, then stir in the aubergines, tomato mixture and lemon juice.
