- Combine spices and 1 teaspoon salt; season chicken on both sides with all but 1/2 teaspoon of the spice mixture.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH CURRIED COUSCOUS, SPINACH, AND MANGO
It's amazing how just a teaspoon of curry powder can make a dish so aromatic. Dressing both the couscous and the spinach with curry vinaigrette disperses its flavor throughout. Serve the chicken breasts whole or slice them thinly for a pretty presentation.

Steps:
- To prepare chicken: Pulse garlic in a food processor until chopped. Add greens and pulse until chopped. Add oil, red-wine vinegar, crushed red pepper and salt; pulse until combined but not pureed. Divide the sauce into three 1/3-cup portions.
- Thread chicken onto 4 skewers. Baste both sides with 1/3 cup sauce. Set in a baking dish or on a plate. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
- Meanwhile, prepare pickled peaches: Combine white vinegar, water, sugar, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon stick and ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved. Place peaches and onion in a wide-mouth mason jar or large nonreactive bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture over them. (Make sure the peaches and onion are completely submerged.) Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in couscous and return to a simmer. Cover and remove from heat.
- Oil the grill rack. Turn off one burner. Grill the chicken over direct heat until it is marked and releases easily, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and baste with 1/3 cup of the reserved sauce. Grill until it releases easily, 4 to 5 minutes more. Move the chicken to indirect heat and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165°F, 5 to 7 minutes more.
- Fluff the couscous with a fork and stir in the remaining 1/3 cup sauce and pine nuts. Serve the chicken with the couscous and pickles.

GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH ISRAELI COUSCOUS SALAD
There's a whole lot of flavor in this simple meal. The chicken gets a Greek treatment with a marinade of lemon, garlic and oregano; raisins, olives and feta make the couscous sweet and salty. Toasting the couscous first gives it a nutty flavor and keeps the grains separate and fluffy.

Steps:
- For the chicken: Add the olive oil, oregano, chicken and garlic to a large resealable plastic bag. Finely grate the zest of 1 lemon and add it to the bag; add the juice of both lemons to the bag. Seal the bag tightly and use your hands to vigorously massage the marinade into the chicken, making sure that the chicken is evenly coated. Marinate at room temperature while you make the couscous.
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
- For the couscous: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and toast the almonds, tossing occasionally, until lightly toasted. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the couscous and cook, stirring occasionally, until toasted, about 3 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Add 2 1/4 cups water, the raisins and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until all the water has been absorbed and the couscous is tender, about 12 minutes. Transfer the couscous to a large bowl and stir with a fork to break up any clumps and release excess steam. Set aside.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on a platter. Lightly oil the grill grates. Sprinkle the chicken liberally with salt and pepper and arrange the pieces skin-side down on the grill, leaving some space between the pieces. Cook until the skin is lightly charred and releases itself from the grill, about 3 minutes. Rotate the chicken about 90 degrees so that the skin won't burn and cook another 3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Cover the grill and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the deepest part of each chicken thigh reads 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter and rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
- While the chicken rests, add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, the almonds, feta, olives, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some ground black pepper to the couscous. Finely grate the zest of 1 lemon and add it to the couscous; squeeze the juice from both lemons into the couscous and toss to combine.
- Divide the couscous and chicken thighs among 6 plates and serve immediately.

Steps:
- For couscous:
- Bring chicken broth, 1 tablespoon oil, ginger, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, turmeric, cinnamon, and cumin to boil in heavy large saucepan. Stir in couscous and remove from heat. Scatter raisins over, cover, and let stand until couscous softens, about 10 minutes. Fluff couscous with fork, breaking up any lumps with fingertips. Transfer couscous to large bowl.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.
- For chicken:
- Place 2 1/2 tablespoons oil, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken and seal bag, releasing any excess air; turn several times to coat. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Alternatively, chill 1 to 3 hours and bring to room temperature before continuing.
- Prepare barbecue (high heat). Brush grill rack with oil. Transfer chicken from bag to barbecue with some marinade still clinging and grill until slightly charred and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
