Preparation
In a medium-sized pot, heat oil until hot and sauté garlic until
tender. Stir in vegetable juice, water, lentils, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil
and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, or until lentils are soft but
not mushy.
Remove pot from heat and discard bay leaf. Stir in couscous, tomato and
basil. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes or until the couscous is soft. Uncover and fluff with
a fork to separate the grains.
