italian style eggplant and veggie stew with couscous

this is a quick and easy meal. i used some marinara i had made ages ago and froze but you could easily use your favorite jarred marinara sauce or tomato sauce and add extra herbs to it. the veggies combos are endless as well. i served this with whole wheat couscous and it was perfect with it but littlefoodie ate it was farfalle and loads of parm...his choice and at least he ate it!

enjoy!
