Couscous with Baby Spinach Peppers Tomatoes and Grilled Chicken Sausage

1/3 cup couscous (I used whole wheat)

1 package chicken sausage

2 cups of organic baby spinach

1/2 pint organic cherry tomatoes, sliced in half

1 organic yellow pepper, cut in 1 inch cubes

1/4 cup vegetable broth

2 garlic cloves, chopped

1/4 tsp grapeseed oil

1/2 tsp sea salt

pepper to taste

1/2 tsp oregano

fresh basil, torn (use as much depending on your taste)

Directions

• Cook couscous according to instructions.  I always omit butter or oil if it calls for it and use just plain water
• Grill sausage in a grill pan or on the grill
• In a saucepan place oil and garlic and saute on medium heat for 1-2 minutes until garlic softens.  Add spinach, peppers and tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender.  Add vegetable broth salt, pepper, basil and oregano and move to low heat and let simmer for a few more minutes.

• Once sausage and couscous are fisnihed. combine all together.  Top with shaved parmesan if desired. Makes 4 servings.  ENJOY!
