Cut the onion, potatoes, eggplant, and bell pepper into 1×1 cm cubes, and slice the carrots. Add the olive oil to a hot pan and fry the onions and potatoes over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes. Then add the eggplant for 4 minutes. Then add the bell pepper and carrot and fry for another 5 minutes. Meanwhile, drain, rinse, and set aside the chickpeas. Bring the water for the couscous to a boil in a kettle. Deglaze the vegetables with the chopped tomatoes and add the chickpeas. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, and sugar. Cook the couscous according to the package instructions, add a little butter, and season with a little broth or rice seasoning. It’s best to wait until the vegetables are ready, as they cook quickly and cool down. Tip: The vegetables can be varied according to taste and availability. Zucchini, broccoli, and sweet potato also work well. Per serving: Approx. 365 kcal
