  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      tablespoon    canola oil
   1      small         yellow onion -- diced
   1      medium        red bell pepper -- seeded and diced
   1      cup           diced zucchini
   1      teaspoon      paprika
     1/2  teaspoon      ground cumin
     1/2  teaspoon      salt
     1/2  teaspoon      black pepper
   1 1/2  cups          water
   2                    scallions -- chopped
   1      cup           couscous
  15      ounces        canned red kidney beans or chickpeas -- drained
(optional)

Makes 4 servings.

This makes an enticing bed for grilled vegetables, curries, and hearty stews.

In a medium saucepan, heat the oil.  Add the onion, bell pepper, and
zucchini and saute for about 7 minutes.  Add the seasonings and cook for 1
minute more.  Add the water and scallions and bring to a boil.  Stir in the
couscous and beans, if desired, cover, and remove from the heat.  Let stand
for 10 minutes.

Fluff the couscous before serving.
