These quick couscous bowls come together in 20 minutes thanks to healthy convenience items like frozen falafel and steam-in-bag fresh green beans. Whisk together the simple tahini sauce while the other ingredients cook.

Ingredients


  • 1 (8 ounce) package frozen prepared falafel

  • ⅔ cup water

  • ½ cup whole-wheat couscous

  • 1 (16 ounce) bag steam-in-bag fresh green beans

  • 1/2 cup Tahini Sauce (see associated recipe)

  • ¼ cup pitted Kalamata olives

  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

Description

  1. Prepare falafel according to package directions; set aside to cool.
