-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 small yellow onion -- diced
1 medium red bell pepper -- seeded and diced
1 cup diced zucchini
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt

Makes 4 servings.

This makes an enticing bed for grilled vegetables, curries, and hearty stews.

In a medium saucepan, heat the oil. Add the onion, bell pepper, and
zucchini and saute for about 7 minutes. Add the seasonings and cook for 1
minute more. Add the water and scallions and bring to a boil. Stir in the
couscous and beans, if desired, cover, and remove from the heat. Let stand
for 10 minutes.

Fluff the couscous before serving.
