A few sprigs thyme (leaves removed from the stalks)
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Add enough extra virgin olive oil to a frying pan to coat the bottom. Place over low heat.
Add garlic, onion, capsicum, tomatoes and carrots to the pan.
Cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes until vegetables soften.
While the vegetables cook, prepare the couscous as per the directions on the packet, but add the fresh thyme leaves to the water before adding the couscous.
Once the couscous is ready, add a tablespoon extra virgin olive oil and stir through.
When the vegetables have softened, remove from the heat and stir the couscous through the vegetable mix.
Stir the parmesan cheese through the mixture.
Serve as a side dish, sprinkled with extra extra virgin olive oil.
