1 cup already-sliced fresh mushrooms
1 medium green bell pepper (1 cup strips)
1 cup already-shredded red cabbage
1 cup already-shredded carrots
2 cups chopped onions
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
1 teaspoon bottled chopped ginger
2 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes

Prepare couscous according to package directions.
Meanwhile, heat oil on medium in a 4 1/2-quart Dutch oven or soup pot. Add broccoli and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, while cutting bell pepper into thin strips. Add pepper, cabbage, carrots and onions. Raise heat to medium-high and stir occasionally.
