Bell Pepper Cous Cous with Tofu & Broccoli

My mom and Ashley were gone for a week and I did a whole lot of cooking for my father and my brother! This meal was one our absolute favorites of the week! I found some Whole Wheat Cous Cous at  Trader Joe's and knowing my father grew up on Cous Cous as a staple I had to get it and make it a little more "me" like- with veggies! 

Ingredients:

Serves 4-5

1 Tbsp Olive Oil

1 Red Bell Pepper & 1 Orange Bell Pepper, diced

2 Tbsp Italian Parsley

Trader Joe's Whole Wheat Cous Cous

1 cup Vegetable Stock

2 Tbsp. Earth Balance Soy-Free Butter

Sliced Pressed Tofu seasoned and sautéed with 

McCormick Grill Mates 'Roasted Garlic & Herb'

Broccoli

Salt & Pepper to taste

In a medium size skillet heat oil on medium heat add Diced Bell Peppers & Parsley and sauté until tender and set aside on low heat. 

Start up a small saucepan with water to boil (will be used to steam the broccoli) 

At the same time begin on the Cous Cous, follow the instructions on the box and in 5 minutes you will have ready to eat Cous Cous! The instructions actually call for water but instead I used the same amount just used vegetable stock instead. The vegetable stock gives it a much richer flavor! Mix in half of the bell peppers and Eath Balance Butter and set on low heat.

The water should be boiling and you can now steam your broccoli using a double boiler. After it's finished season with a little sea salt and pepper it's good to go! 

Now you can heat your skillet with a small amount of olive oil and season the tofu with the McCormick Seasoning and cook until heated through, about two-three minutes on each side on medium heat

Use the remainder of the bell peppers to relish the tofu and plate everything up and mangia! 

Substitutions:
Instead of tofu you can use organic free range chicken breast, use the same seasoning and all!
