LEMONY MEDITERRANEAN COUSCOUS SALAD

This delicious lemony couscous salad is very versatile, as you can use your favorite sausage and/or cheese rather than those suggested. I sometimes add sliced Spanish olives and pinenuts as well, and intend trying cilantro or mint rather than parsley. Be inventive! Adapted from a recipe by Sarah Edmonds.

Steps:

  • Cook the couscous in the hot chicken or vegetable stock, following the packet instructions as to the ratio of couscous to stock (as different brands vary).
  • Once the liquid has been absorbed (about 5 minutes), fluff the couscous with a fork to separate the grains.
  • Heat the butter in a fry pan and cook the onions over medium heat, for about 5 minutes, until softened and golden.
  • Stir frequently as they cook to prevent burning or sticking.
  • Remove half the onions and reserve.
  • Add the sliced chorizo and bell peppers to the onions remaining in the fry pan, and continue sautéing over medium heat for a further 10 – 12 minutes, until the peppers have softened and the chorizo is starting to brown.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • While this mixture is cooling slightly, combine the chopped chives and parsley and then add 3 tablespoons of these herbs to the couscous, along with the reserved, sautéed onions and the semi-dried tomatoes.
  • Mix well and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Next toss the feta and artichokes into the chorizo mixture that has been cooling in the fry pan.
  • Mix well, and sparingly season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place the couscous into an attractive serving bowl, and pile the chorizo mixture on top.
  • It can be served immediately, warm, or later, cold.
  • When ready to serve, combine the lemon zest, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, the olive oil, sugar and remaining parsley and chives in a small jar.
  • Shake jar well, and season the dressing to taste.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the warm or cold salad to serve.
