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

  • ¼ cup pitted Kalamata olives

  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

Method

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

  2. Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in couscous, cover and remove from heat. Allow to stand until the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork; set aside.

  3. Prepare green beans according to package directions.

  4. Prepare Tahini Sauce. Divide among 4 small condiment containers with lids and refrigerate.

  5. Divide the green beans among 4 single-serving containers with lids. Top each with 1/2 cup couscous, one-fourth of the falafel and 1 tablespoon each olives and feta. Seal and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

  6. To serve, reheat in the microwave until heated through, about 2 minutes. Dress with tahini sauce just before eating.
