Stuffed and roasted Vegetables

I somehow really forgot about sharing the rest of our Christmas-Menu, so here it is, course #3! I hope, you'll enjoy it, as much as we did.

I don't exactly remember all the details, so it'll be a recipe without measurements, sorry for that, but I'm sure, you'll get the idea!

stuffed vegetables:
ingredients:

• bell peppers
• big tomatoes
• couscous
• onion(s)
• sweet corn
• mushrooms (optional)
• vegan cheese (also optional and we didn't use any!)
• salt, pepper & garlic to taste, olive oil

1. cut the bell peppers in half (length-wise) and cut out the stalk
2. cut approx. 1-1.5 cm off the top of the tomatoes and remove the cores (keep them!!)
3. cook the couscous according to package instructions and season the water with salt, pepper, garlic and olive oil (over-season a little bit)
4. fry the chopped onions and mushrooms until golden and mix them with the chopped tomato cores
5. combine the mixture with the prepared couscous
6. stuff the bellpeppers and tomatoes with the mixture
7. bake at 180-200°C / 350-400°F for approx. 20-45 minutes

roasted / baked vegetables:
ingredients :

• potatoes
• cauliflower
• carrots
• zucchini
• cherry tomatoes (in different colours)
• garlic, salt, pepper, nutmeg, rosemary, chili powder / flakes (optional) & olive oil to taste

1. peel the potatoes and carrots and cut into big-ish chunks, wash the zucchini (and cut into chunks) and cherry tomatoes (don't cut them!) and pre-steam the cauliflower if you use frozen one. (If you use the fresh one, simply wash and cut it as well)
2. marinate half of the potatoes with rosemary, salt and olive oil and bake at 180-200°C / 350-390°F for 30-45 minutes (the bigger the veg, the longer it takes)
3. marinate the rest of the vegetables with garlic, salt, pepper, nutmeg (and chili) and olive oil and bake at 180-200°C / 350-400°F for 30-45 minutes as well.
4. stir the vegetables approx. half way through it's baking time

You can obviously choose whichever vegetables you like or are in season, but this is pretty much what we had (except for the garlic, which my mum doesn't like)!

Bon Appetit!
