The vegetables:

Peel the carrot and chop it.
Wash, cut the stem and remove the seeds of the bell pepper. Cut it to the same size pieces as the carrot.
Wash and cut the broccoli into small bouquets. 

All in the pan:

Heat a dash of oil over medium heat. Add the cut vegetables and let poach for 5 minutes (or more if you like). Add salt and pepper.
Now, let’s get on with the pesto! 

Your pesto:

Put basil leaves, walnuts, parmesan cheese (leaving a pinch for the final plating), salt and pepper in a bowl.
Add olive oil (generously) and a splash of water.
Blend everything until obtaining a thick and homogeneous mixture (regulate with the amount of water and/or oil).

Get your plate ready:

Separate the grains of the couscous with a fork.
Mix the pesto with the couscous and serve with the vegetables. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.
