Couscous with Summer Squash and Carrot Puree


Trying to make a dent in the 15lbs of zucchini and summer squash we got Saturday from our CSA. I had this couscous with grilled zucchini and steamed broccoli and cauliflower.

Ingredients
3/4 c water (or broth for more flavor)
1 c whole wheat couscous
3/4 c yellow squash and carrots puree*
2-4 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp shredded parmesan
Garlic Powder, Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions
1. Bring water or broth to a boil.
2. Stir in couscous, puree, butter, cheese and seasonings. Remove from heat.
3. Cover and let stand 5-7 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed.

*To make puree - steam the veggies until tender and place in a blender/food processor/magic bullet with water as needed to make a puree. Should look like baby food when finished.
