1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons olive oil

2 cups diced eggplant

1 cup diced zucchini

1/2 cup chopped bottled roasted red bell peppers

Preheat oven to 325°.

Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan; gradually stir in couscous,

turmeric, and salt. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with

a fork.

 

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add eggplant and

next 5 ingredients (eggplant through garlic); sauté 4 minutes. Combine eggplant

mixture, couscous, chickpeas, feta, and egg. Coat a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with

cooking spray; line with parchment paper, allowing the parchment to extend over

outside edges. Spoon couscous mixture into pan, pressing firmly to pack. Fold

parchment over top of couscous mixture. Bake at 325° for 45 minutes or until
