Ingredients
- 1 Tbs. olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 large green or red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 ripe large tomato, halved, seeded and chopped
- 1 medium clove garlic, minced

- 1 cup frozen peas

- 1 1/4 cups uncooked couscous

Preparation
In large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring often, until onion is softened, about 7 minutes. Add tomato, garlic and paprika and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
Stir in broth, potatoes, peas and salt. Season with freshly ground pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 8 minutes.
