Instructions: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in pressure cooker. Add garlic; cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until just browned. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute. Add water, fennel bulb or celery and fennel seeds, bell pepper, carrot, mushrooms, zucchini, tomatoes, olives, basil, oregano, salt, cinnamon and pepper.

Lock lid in place. Over high heat, bring to high pressure. Lower heat just enough to maintain high pressure and cook 2 minutes. Reduce pressure using quick-release method. Remove lid.

Stir in 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice, and couscous. Replace lid; allow to steam 5 minutes until couscous is tender. Add fennel fronds if using, basil, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and additional vinegar or lemon juice to taste. Stir well.

Serves 6.

VARIATION: Leftovers are terrific at room temperature when drizzled with olive oil and lemon juice, and garnished with olives.
