2 cups dried red beans

6 cups water

2 tomatoes -- coarsely chopped

2 teaspoons olive oil

Place beans in a

large, heavy-bottomed soup pot with 6 cups water and

tomatoes. Bring to a

boil, lower heat and simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hours until

tender. Add more water

during cooking if necessary, using just enough to make

a gravylike sauce.

potatoes in olive oil 15

minutes until potatoes are almost soft. Set aside.

 

3. Puree almonds and soymilk in a blender until

smooth. Add sautéed

vegetables, almond milk, salt, cayenne and black

pepper to cooked beans

and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.

 

4. While beans simmer, bring 4 cups water to boil in a

medium saucepan.

Stir in couscous, 1 teaspoon olive oil and salt. Cover

saucepan, remove

from heat and let sit 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork

before serving.
