Hey friends. Today I would like to share an awesome vegetarian meal Spicy Pattypan & Peas on Couscous. I made this earlier in the week for a Corporate Clients as a vegetarian lunch, and boy did they love it…
This meal consists of spicy Cajun grilled green pattypan with chopped onion and peas, served on a bed of buttery couscous. It is so simple to prepare, and the combination of these vegetables, with a little fresh basil, is just delicious.
Use the vegetables alone as a side dish to your Sunday lunch this weekend, or simply add grilled chicken strips or beef to the whole bundle – and create your own magic on a plate!
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius, serves four.
It is a super easy meal, uber healthy and won’t waste too much of your precious time in the kitchen. Create your own version by adding more veggies of your choice. Enjoy!
