Instructions
Vegetables
In sauté pan over high heat, heat oil. Add onion, garlic, celery and green and red peppers. Stir-fry until tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add yellow squash, zucchini and drained tomato mixture. Stir-fry 3 minutes.
Add broth, lemon juice, salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Simmer 5 minutes.
Couscous
Preheat oven to 375 F.
On parchment-lined sheet pan, spread couscous in thin layer.
Bake until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
In stockpot over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add onion and garlic. Sauté until onion is translucent, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients except couscous and parsley. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
Add couscous. Stir. Cover. Let stand until liquid is absorbed, 8 to 12 minutes. Fluff with fork.
Add parsley. Toss to mix.
Hummus
In food processor, combine all ingredients. Process until smooth.
On a plate, layer 1/2 cup couscous, 3/4 cup vegetable mixture, and banana pepper rings. Place 2 Tbsp hummus on the side and serve.
