Cooking steps
1
  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons. Peel, halve, and finely dice onion. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Pick fronds from dill and finely chop half; reserve remaining for serving. Zest and quarter lemon.

2
  • In a small pot, bring couscous and 1 cup water (2 cups for 4 servings) to a boil. Once boiling, cover and reduce heat to low; cook until al dente, 6-8 minutes.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to use in Step 5.

3
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and softened, 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Transfer to a plate and set aside.

4
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and sausage*. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces and stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and sausage is cooked through, 6-8 minutes.

  • Stir in cream sauce base, stock concentrates, cream cheese, chopped dill, juice from half the lemon, and ½ cup water (1 cup for 4 servings). Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened, 3-4 minutes more.

5
  • Add couscous and zucchini to pan with sausage mixture. Cook, stirring, until combined, 1-2 minutes.

  • Turn off heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted and combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

  • Divide couscous between plates or bowls. Sprinkle with lemon zest and remaining dill. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
