Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and put the kettle on. Put the red peppers and courgettes in a roasting tray with the garlic, olive oil, sugar and some seasoning. Roast them in the oven for 20 mins, then add the tomatoes and sliced chilli. Roast for 20 mins more until the tomatoes and peppers are bursting with juices.
  2. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl stir together the couscous and chickpeas, and pour over 200-250ml boiling water until just covered. Cling film the bowl and leave to stand for 10 mins, then fluff up with a fork, adding more water if needed.
  3. Remove the vegetables from the oven and stir in the mascarpone. Divide the couscous between 4 plates, top with the roasted veg and finish with some chopped parsley and a drizzle of olive oil.

    Very tasty and easy recipe. Vegetables were tender but with full of juices. Mascarpone was really nice touch to finish with.

    Lovely recipe. Great way to use up veg in the fridge. The mascarpone gave this a brilliant flavour and great creamy texture. Was great as a lunch snack the next day as well. I added some red pesto to the couscous to give it a bit of extra flavour.

    Absolutely loved this! Forgot to get chilli when I was shopping for ingredients but used sweet chilli sauce and left out the sugar - also mixed a bit of red pesto in with the couscous, so tasty!
