Moroccan Tempeh Kabobs with Couscous

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Moroccan Tempeh Kabobs with Couscous.

1. Step 1

   To create a delicious and vibrant dish, start by grabbing a large resealable plastic bag.

2. Step 2

   In it, combine your tempeh, mushrooms, eggplant, red bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes.

3. Step 3

   This colorful mix will not only look great but also pack a punch of flavor.

4. Step 4

   Next, in a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, honey, grated ginger, and chopped garlic.

5. Step 5

   Don’t forget to season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste—this is where the magic begins! Pour this aromatic marinade over the tempeh and veggies in the bag, seal it tightly, and give it a good shake to ensure everything is coated evenly.

6. Step 6

   For the best flavor, let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least two hours; this is the perfect time to let those flavors meld together.

7. Step 7

   When you’re ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

8. Step 8

   Carefully thread the marinated tempeh and vegetables onto skewers, making sure to reserve any leftover marinade for later.

9. Step 9

   Grill the skewers, turning them frequently to achieve that perfect char and even cooking.

10. Step 10

    If grilling isn’t an option, you can also broil them in the oven for a delicious alternative.

11. Step 11

    While your kabobs are sizzling away, bring vegetable broth, the remaining grated ginger, cumin, and a dash of salt to a gentle boil in a saucepan.

12. Step 12

    Stir in couscous, raisins, and chickpeas, then cover the pot and remove it from heat.

13. Step 13

    Let it sit for about five minutes; this will allow the couscous to fluff up beautifully.

14. Step 14

    Just before serving, brighten up the dish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the couscous and give it a gentle stir to combine.

15. Step 15

    Finally, serve your kabobs alongside the reserved marinade for dipping, and enjoy a delightful meal that’s bursting with flavor and color!.
