5 mushrooms large, sliced, about 1 cup
2/3 cup green olives with pimentos, sliced
1 cup couscous
1 cup vegetable stock
1 lemon juiced
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons cilantro

1
Heat a medium-size saute pan on medium-high heat. Add a thin layer of oil. Add red onion and cook 1 minute. Add mushrooms and cook another 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the asparagus, tomatoes and green olives; stir to combine and cook 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove pan from heat and transfer vegetables to a plate.
2
Whisk together all the dressing ingredients except the olive oil. Slowly pour the olive oil into the mixed ingredients while whisking quickly to combine. Taste for seasoning.
3
Whisk together the vegetable stock, lemon juice, cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Pour into a medium-sized saucepan and bring contents to a boil. Add the couscous to the boiling stock and bring it back to a boil. Immediately once it comes to a boil, turn off the heat and place lid on saucepan. Let the couscous absorb the liquid for 15 minutes.
4
When couscous liquid is absorbed, add couscous to sauteed vegetable mixture and add cilantro; toss to combine. Pour the desired amount of dressing over the couscous/vegetable mixture, adding a small amount at a time, and stir to combine and cover. Don't over-dress the couscous mixture; you may not need all of the dressing.

Scoop the couscous mixture into the pepper halves on the serving platter.
