Cous cous with Aubergine and Blue Cheese

Cous cous is a great form of pasta...mainly because it cooks in 5 minutes flat. Moreover, I am always looking for recipes that include some mint since I have a mint plant and I need to use it often, else it will wither. This is a nice light meal in itself, or a good side dish for some grill.

About half a cup of cous cous (pour some boiling water in it, and after 5 minutes...Voila!)

1 large Aubergine cut in thin slices

1 Onion, chopped

Handful of mint

Some Blue Cheese

Salt and Pepper to taste

Oil (preferably olive)

Juice of 1 lemon

Firstly, grill the aubergine slices and season with salt/pepper. This is the most time consuming part, but make sure it is cooked evenly on both sides. The cut the pieces in quarters.

The cous cous is cooked by just the boiling water. Use a fork to fluff it and separate the grains as much as possible.

Then comes the best part...you simply put in all the ingredients (including a dash of olive oil) together and mix. Add and subtract the quantity of the ingredients as you prefer. I like more of veggies than cous cous.
