Glory Glory Couscous

1/2 package tofu
clove of garlic
3/4 large onion
2 carrots, sliced
1/2 bell pepper, diced
1/2 eggplant, diced
2 packaged beets, diced
spoonful of packaged lentils
1 cup water
1/2 cup couscous
Feta to taste
olive oil
balsamic vinegar
Dried parsley
Dried basil
Salt n Peppa

Well shoot, that's a long list. But worth it.

First crumble up the tofu and fry it in olive oil, half of the garlic and half the onion. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, basil and parsley. Be liberal with the olive oil. Take out of pan once crispy and set to the side.

Add to the frying pan: the carrots, the bell pepper and the rest of the garlic and onion in olive oil. Let fry. Then add eggplant. This part takes the longest because eggplant takes forever to get not squishy but crispy. Add salt, pepper and basil. Once everything is all nice and crisped add to the side with tofu.

On a separate burner, start boiling your cup of water. Once bubbling, add the couscous. Turn off heat and let cook.

Back to the frying pan add the beets in olive oil with parsley. Then sprinkle the feta. Then warm up the lentils by tossing them on top of your beets. Once that's all nice and purple add everything to the couscous saucepan (tofu, veggies, etc) and stir in with just a bit of balsamic over the top. Goes well with hummus. Caution: you will smell of garlic.
