Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the pine nuts in a single layer on an ungreased, rimmed baking sheet. Toast in the oven until fragrant and lightly golden, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Keep an eye on them and DO NOT WALK AWAY during the last few minutes to make sure those precious pine nuts do not burn. Immediately transfer them to a bowl to stop their cooking and to make sure the hot pan doesn't burn them once they are out of the oven.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 3 minutes, until they begin to soften. Add the salt, pepper, and cumin and cook for 30 seconds.
- Pour in the broth. Increase the heat to high and bring it to a boil. As soon as the liquid begins to boil, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the couscous, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes.
- With a fork, fluff up the couscous. Add the raisins, parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, and toasted pine nuts to the pot, then stir the ingredients together to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Enjoy hot.

- Place a dry medium pot over medium high heat. Add the couscous and cook, stirring occasionally, until it turns a bit deeper golden, about 3 minutes. Turn the couscous into a large bowl. Add 1 ¾ cups water, 2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon kosher salt to the pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the toasted couscous (save the bowl for mixing the salad), stir, then cover the pot and remove from the heat. Let stand for 10 minutes, then uncover the pot. The couscous should have absorbed all of the liquid and become tender; fluff with a fork (or if need a few more minutes, just recover the pot).
- Spread the couscous out on a rimmed baking sheet to cool. Drizzle with 1 more tablespoon of olive oil and stir then spread out again.
- While the couscous is cooling, heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then add the celery and saute for 2 minutes. Add the radicchio and ramps or scallions and saute for another 2 minutes until the vegetables are starting to become tender. Stir in the jalapeno and cook for one more minute, then remove from the heat and stir in the lemon zest.
- Turn the cooled couscous into the reserved bowl, and add the vegetable mixture. Stir to combine, seasoning with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl (or not) and drizzle with just a bit more olive oil for good measure.

- Prepare the dressing: Add the oil, garlic, Dijon and honey to a small bowl or a mason jar. Add in ¼ cup fresh lemon juice, a scant ½ teaspoon zest, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt and generous pinch of pepper. Whisk until well combined. If using a mason jar, add the lid and seal. Shake the jar until well combined.
- Infuse oil: Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and 1 heaping tablespoon of lemon zest. Let the flavors infuse and sweat the vegetables, stirring, for 2-3 minutes.
- Cook couscous: Stir in the couscous and increase the heat to medium. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes or until the couscous is lightly toasted and fragrant. Add in the stock and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a rapid simmer, then immediately reduce heat to a low. Cover the pan tightly with a lid and cook for 10-12 minutes, until the couscous is tender, and liquid is almost all absorbed. Remove from heat.
- Stir in tomato oil & cover: Remove cover from couscous. Add the 2 tablespoons of sun-dried tomato oil and stir to combine. Replace cover and set aside (off heat), for about 3-5 minutes, until liquid is completely evaporated. The couscous should be tender, and the mixture should be fluffy, not soupy. Season couscous to taste with salt and pepper; fluff with a fork. Transfer the couscous to a large bowl.
