Cooking spray
1 medium yellow summer squash (about 8 ounces)
1 medium zucchini (about 8 ounces)
1 small Yukon gold potato, about 4 ounces, scrubbed and thinly sliced
1/4 small sweet onion, such as Vidalia, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 sprig fresh rosemary, leaves removed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup (1 1/2 ounces) freshly grated Manchego cheese

COUSCOUS WITH SWEET POTATOES AND YELLOW SQUASH



Couscous With Sweet Potatoes and Yellow Squash image

I've forgotten where this came from, but I have had it for about 10 years now. It is great for vegetarians, and even for non-vegetarians! I am posting the original recipe which calls for Turmeric, but I have never added it and it still tastes delicious. Other changes I have tried include using diced tomatoes (instead of whole), baby carrots instead of a regular carrot. Also I have microwaved the sweet potato for about 5 minutes prior to peeling and cubing, just to cut down on cook time. All of these changes have worked out well.
