PERFECT COUSCOUS
Couscous isn't a grain, as some people may think - it's actually a type of pasta made from durum wheat and shaped like a grain. The couscous you have in your pantry is most likely instant couscous that's been steamed and dried so it cooks very quickly, for a fast and easy side dish or base for a salad or bowl. Look for whole wheat couscous in your supermarket; it cooks in the same time as the regular variety and has all the virtues of whole wheat pasta. This recipe makes a big batch for make-ahead meal prep but is easily halved.

Steps:
- Combine the water or broth, olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Stir in the couscous and immediately remove from the heat. Cover and let sit 5 minutes.
- Fluff the couscous thoroughly with a fork (the more you fluff, the more separate and light the grains will be). Season with salt and pepper. If you are making the couscous ahead, spread while hot on a baking sheet lined with parchment to stop the cooking as it cools. Once cool, refrigerate in an airtight container up to 5 days.

Steps:
- Heat oil in pan over medium heat and fry coriander seeds until toasted. Add bell peppers, cayenne and cinnamon and sauté until tender (approximately 4 minutes). Add chicken stock and saffron threads and bring to a boil. Stir in couscous, cover and remove from heat. Let it sit until all the liquid has been absorbed (approximately 10-15 minutes). If the liquid is not fully absorbed after the allotted time, return to low heat and cook until it is fully absorbed. While stirring season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with chopped baby thyme, cover and refrigerate to cool.
- When the couscous has cooled, beat the eggs together and fold them into the couscous. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate again for 1/2 hour.
- Using your hands, form palm sized pancakes with the mix and place them in a hot, oiled, non-stick skillet. Brown on both sides, remove from pan and place on a paper towel to drain. Continue until all the mixture has been used.
- Plate the couscous pancakes with a dollop of saffron cream on top and garnish with mint.
- While it cools, make the saffron cream by combining the cream cheese, sour cream and saffron threads in a blender and mix until creamy.
