Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine couscous and oil; toss to coat grains. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 3/4 cups water to a boil; remove from heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and couscous; stir. Cover; let stand until couscous has absorbed water, 5 minutes. Add cilantro; fluff couscous with a fork. Serve immediately, with cilantro sprigs if desired.

Steps:

• Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and turmeric; stir 1 minute.
• Add water, lemon zest, and coarse salt; bring to boil.
• Remove pan from heat. Stir in couscous. Cover; let stand until liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
• Fluff with fork; mix in cilantro and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.

Steps:

• Cook's Note: To toast the almonds, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 6 to 8 minutes until lightly toasted. Cool completely before using.
• Special equipment: 24-count nonstick mini-muffin pan; 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter
• For the pastry cups: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 24-count nonstick mini-muffin pan with vegetable oil cooking spray. Unroll the pie crusts on a lightly floured work surface. Using a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut 12 circles of dough from each crust. Press the dough into the prepared muffin cups. Bake until light golden, 10 minutes. Cool completely before filling, 15 minutes.
• For the salad: Bring the broth, orange zest, orange juice and cumin to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the couscous and remove the pan from the heat. Cover the pan until the liquid had been absorbed and the couscous is tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Fluff the couscous and break up any lumps, using a fork. Toss together the couscous, mandarin oranges, almonds and parsley in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the dressing: Whisk together the oil, orange juice, vinegar, salt and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
• To assemble: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until coated. Spoon the mixture into the cooled pastry cups and serve.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Remove from heat, stir in couscous and orange zest. Cover and let stand, 5 minutes. Fluff couscous with a fork, stir in cilantro, and season with salt.

Steps:

• To the bottom of a large serving bowl, add the orange juice, lime juice, honey, cumin and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk in the olive oil until the honey is dissolved. Mix in the scallions and half the chile; set aside.
• In a large lidded pot over medium-high heat, toast the couscous, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 3 cups of water, season with 1 tablespoon salt, cover and bring to a boil. Adjust the heat to maintain an active simmer and cook according to the lower end of the time frame on package's instructions, usually about 8 minutes. During the last 3 or 4 minutes of cooking (depending on the size of your florets), stir in the broccoli and cook until bright and tender, and the thickest parts are easily pierced with a fork. Drain, shake off excess water, then transfer to the serving bowl.
• Mix until the couscous has absorbed most of the dressing. Mix in the feta, pistachios, herbs, orange pieces and the remaining chile, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Eat immediately or let cool and serve at room temperature.
