Directions

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until hot.

Add the onions, cook until soft, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the peppers, spinach, and tomatoes, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the spinach are wilted.

Add the couscous and garlic, and stir until well mixed.

Pour the broth into the saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low.

Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring a few times, until the broth is absorbed.

Remove from the heat, add the black olives and mix well.

Divide among the serving plates, and top with parmesan cheese and fresh basil.

Serve warm.
