Ingredients:


1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

2 cloves garlic chopped fine

1 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon salt -- to taste

1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper

2 medium green zucchini -- quartered lengthwise

2 medium yellow zucchini -- quartered lengthwise

6 medium asparagus spears -- trimmed

12 medium cherry tomatoes

1 medium red bell pepper -- quartered, seeded

1 medium yellow bell pepper -- quartered, seeded

1/4 cup basil chiffonade

1/4 cup coarsely-chopped flat-leaf parsley

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 pound Israeli couscous

1 cup vegetable stock -- heated
 

Preparation / Directions:


In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard and garlic, slowly add the olive oil and whisk until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Pour 1/2 the marinade over the vegetables and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Preheat the grill. Remove the vegetables from the marinade and grill the vegetables until just cooked through. Cut the zucchini and peppers into 1/2-inch pieces, cut the tomatoes in half. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat, add the couscous and toast until lightly golden brown. Cover the couscous with the hot stock and bring to a boil, cook until al dente and drain well. Place in a large serving bowl, add the grilled vegetables and herbs and toss with the remaining vinaigrette. Serve at room temperature. Recipe Source: HOT OFF THE GRILL with Bobby Flay
