Campfire Couscous with Zucchini and Pine Nuts Recipe

Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan placed on a camping stove set to medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add garlic and season well with several pinches of salt and pepper mix. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is softened but not browned.

Add couscous and stir to coat with oil. Cook, stirring frequently, until couscous is golden brown and toasted, about 5 minutes.

Add water and thyme sprig and bring to a simmer. Cover the pan and reduce heat to medium low; simmer until couscous is tender and water is absorbed, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in zucchini; return the lid to the pan. Allow to sit 5 minutes or until zucchini is tender.

Stir in pine nuts, currants, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Taste couscous and, if necessary, season with more salt and pepper mix.
