    Coated in a tangy Dijon sauce, these tasty veggies and fluffy couscous make for a delightful side. Diane Dumitru — Fairview Park, Ohio

    Ingredients:
    1/2 pound medium fresh mushrooms, quartered
    1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch slices
    1 medium sweet red pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
    1/4 cup dry red wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth
    3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    1 cup water
    1 cup uncooked couscous

    Directions:
    Place an 18-in. x 12-in. piece of heavy-duty foil on a large baking sheet; set aside.

    In a large bowl, combine the mushrooms, zucchini and red pepper. Combine the wine, mustard, oil, garlic, horseradish, salt and pepper; drizzle over vegetables. Toss to coat; transfer to baking sheet. Top with a second large piece of foil. Bring edges of foil pieces together; crimp to seal, forming a large packet.

    Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

    Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in couscous. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand for 5-10 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork. Transfer couscous and vegetables to a large serving bowl; toss to combine.

    Freeze option: Freeze cooled couscous mixture in a freezer container. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Microwave, covered, on high in a microwave-safe dish until heated through, adding 2-3 tablespoons water to moisten.
