CHRISTMAS COUSCOUS SALAD

This interesting and different salad was published in the Daily Mail, from Prue Leith's column. It says: serve as part of a buffet on Boxing Day with cold meats or with grilled goat's cheese for a simple first course. You can also soak the dried fruits in the dressing while you prepare the couscous, if you want to. I've put down 10 minutes for the couscous to cook, because I haven't got a packet for instructions. But I know it's not long ...

Party Poussins with Festive Couscous image

Steps:

  • For the poussins, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place the poussins in a roasting tin. Pour the oil slowly over the top of the top of the poussins. Rub the oil into the poussins so that they are well coated.
  • Place the salt, sugar, cinnamon and paprika in a small clean bowl and mix well. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the poussins. Slice the lemon into quarters and then slice each quarter into 4 so you have 16 small pieces. Place the pieces around and in between the poussins.
  • Separate the garlic bulb into cloves and place the pieces around and in between the poussins. Transfer the poussins to the oven and cook for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until completely cooked through. Remove the poussins from the oven and then let them rest for 10 minutes in their tin.
  • Place the couscous, sultanas, spices and salt into a microwave-proof bowl and mix well. Add the freshly boiled water to the bowl and then cover the bowl with cling film. Leave the mixture to sit for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed by the couscous. Remove the cling film from the bowl and stir the couscous with a fork to separate the grains. Carefully pour some of the juices that have collected in the roasting tin of poussins into the bowl. Stir the mixture again and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Transfer the couscous to a serving dish.
  • Slice the pomegranate in half and extract a good quarter of the seeds. Place them onto the couscous. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro (coriander) over the top.
  • To serve, place the poussins onto clean plates and place the couscous alongside. Use the oven-charred lemon pieces and garlic cloves from the roasting tin to garnish.

6 poussins
4 tablespoons chili oil or regular olive oil
1 tablespoon salt
Pinch sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 lemon
1 small garlic bulb
1 pound 2 ounces (500 grams) couscous
2 3/4 ounces (75 grams) golden sultanas
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons salt
1 pint 9 fluid ounces (800 ml) freshly boiled water
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pomegranate
Small handful fresh cilantro leaves (coriander), chopped

16 BEST COUSCOUS RECIPES FOR CREATIVE MEALS & SIDES | KITCHN

From thekitchn.com
  • One-Skillet Chicken Thighs with Pearl Couscous and Eggplant Recipe. This one-skillet dish features crispy chicken thighs, pearl couscous, and eggplant simmered in a flavorful tomato base.
  • Israeli Couscous Salad with Feta, Chickpeas, and Herbs. Since this colorful salad is filled with chickpeas, it's got enough protein in it to act as a meatless main dish for dinner or a satisfying lunch.
  • One-Pot Smoked Almond and Herb Couscous. This recipe will show you that it only takes a few basic pantry ingredients to give a plain pot of couscous a punch of flavor and texture.
  • Herbed Couscous & Goat Cheese Stuffed Tomatoes. When good tomatoes are out of season I love to swap in a rainbow of bell peppers, zucchini, or even delicata squash.
  • Honey Harissa Chicken and Chickpeas! While serving this sweet and spicy chicken over couscous is technically optional, it's well worth it because the couscous soaks up lots of the flavorful sauce.
  • Couscous Salad with Butternut Squash and Cranberries. This salad has become a regular in my meal plan roster. It can play side dish or main course, and it makes a lot, which means I have lunch for a couple days to come.
  • Minted Summer Couscous with Watermelon and Feta. Watermelon and feta are a classic combination and really are so good here in this salad. However, know that cantaloupe and honeydew melon are great substitutions.
  • Couscous Salad with Cucumber, Red Onion & Herbs. This is one of my favorite couscous recipes to pair with fish. A mess of fresh herbs keeps it light, while cucumbers and wispy red onion add a nice crunch.
  • Roasted Shrimp and Pea Couscous Salad. This is a quick and easy dinner salad that you'll look forward to diving into. Israeli couscous takes just about 10 minutes to cook up, and while it does you can roast the shrimp and peas all on one sheet pan in the oven.
  • Pine Nut & Scallion Couscous. A simple trio of softened scallions, pine nuts, and golden raisins boost a basic bowl of couscous with extra flavor and texture.
