PEARL COUSCOUS SALAD
This is a take-off of a pricey deli salad that my family loves. Using ingredients at home, it is much more affordable so we can enjoy it more often. Store salad in the fridge, covered, for up to a week.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir couscous in the hot oil until toasted and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 2 1/2 cups water to couscous and bring to a boil; cover skillet and cook until couscous is tender, about 10 minutes. Rinse couscous in a colander with cold water and transfer to a bowl. Mix 1/4 cup olive oil into couscous and stir to coat.
- Place lentils in a small pan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until lentils are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and rinse lentils under cold water in a colander; add to couscous.
- Mix tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, cranberries, raisins, red onion, chives, parsley, green onion, and sumac into couscous-lentil mixture.
- Beat 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; pour over couscous-lentil mixture and stir until coated. Refrigerate salad for flavors to blend, 8 hours to overnight.

LEMON INFUSED COUSCOUS PEARLS

Steps:
- Heat small pot with a tablespoon of butter, 1 shallot and the zest of half a lemon.
- Over medium heat, we are going to melt the butter and let the butter get infused with the flavors of the shallot and the lemon zest. Give this about 3 minutes. Again, you are sweating the aromatics not browning them.
- Throw in a cup of your Israel couscous and toss everything together, ensuring your couscous is covered by the shallot and butter mixture. Essentially you are toasting them a bit. Do this for about 2 minutes.
- Pour in 1 and 1/4 cups of chicken broth, stock or water. I find the chicken stocks and broths give it a more savory flavor. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, covered for 10 minutes.
- Fluff with a fork. This will ensure you have light and fluffy individual grains. Sprinkle in 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese and mix with a fork. Taste for seasoning.
- Serve in a bowl with some more lemon zest, chopped parsley and nice shredding of Parmesan cheese on top.
ISRAELI COUSCOUS SALAD
Steps:
- Bring 1 1/4 cups water to a boil in a medium (2-quart) saucepan. Add the couscous, return to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- In the bottom of a large bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Taste and add additional seasoning as desired. While the couscous is still warm, add it to the bowl and toss to coat. Place in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to allow the couscous to cool.
- When ready to serve, add the remaining ingredients: arugula, cucumber, tomatoes, feta, and mint. Toss to combine. Serve cold or at room temperature.

- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and diced shallot to the pan, stirring occasionally until the shallot is fragrant and softened, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the couscous and stir, coating it with the olive oil and slightly browning the pasta. Add the turmeric and stir until the couscous is completely coated with the spice, about 1 minute.
- Add the cinnamon stick and vegetable broth to the couscous, stir and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, so that nothing sticks to the bottom of the skillet. Add the golden raisins at the 5-6 minute mark (while there's still liquid in the pan, but its being absorbed more rapidly) and continue to simmer for the remaining 2-3 minutes of cooking time until the pasta is tender.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and remove the cinnamon stick. Stir in the chopped parsley, mint and toasted pine nuts. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy.

- 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.
