Health Highlights

Ingredients


1/4 tsp Black pepper
1/2 cup Couscous, dry (whole wheat)
3 tbsp Basil, fresh (thinly sliced)
1 clove(s) Garlic (minced)
1 tbsp Margarine
1 tbsp Oregano, dried (fresh)
1 tbsp Parsley, fresh (chopped)
1 medium Tomato (seeded and chopped)
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Vegetable stock/broth
2 small Yellow onion (diced)
4 medium Zucchini
1 cup, diced Gouda cheese

Instructions


In saucepan, melt margarine over medium-high heat; cook onions and garlic until softened, about 3 minutes. Add tomato and pinch each of the salt and pepper; cook for 1 minute.

Add vegetable stock and bring to boil; stir in couscous. Cover and remove from heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork. Stir in 2/3 cup of the Gouda cheese, basil, parsley and oregano.

Meanwhile, trim ends off zucchini; slice lengthwise in half. Using melon baller or spoon, scoop out pulp, leaving scant 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick walls. Sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper.

Divide couscous mixture among zucchini; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Place on baking sheet and cover with foil; bake in 400°F (200°C) oven until fork-tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
