APRICOT-CRANBERRY ISRAELI COUSCOUS
Israeli couscous, also known as pearl couscous, is a bit chewy, a little bit nutty, and tastes nothing like traditional couscous. This has an appealing fruity flavor and is a tasty, satisfying side dish to just about any main course. We particularly enjoy it with fish.

COUSCOUS SALAD WITH DRIED APRICOTS AND PRESERVED LEMON
While summer is still with us, you can serve any vegetable-laden dishes you've been enjoying all season alongside your meat. Or for something different, I offer a couscous and dried apricot salad dressed with preserved lemon and plenty of herbs. If you can't find any preserved lemons, and can spare a few weeks, here's a recipe to make them yourself.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add couscous and cook until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain.
- Meanwhile, in a small dry skillet, toast cumin seeds until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Lightly crush them using a mortar and a pestle (or use the flat side of a heavy knife and a cutting board). Add to a bowl with the warm couscous, vinegar, salt and pepper and toss well. When the couscous is cool, add remaining ingredients and mix well. Taste and add more salt, lemon juice or oil if needed. Garnish with pistachio nuts if desired.

ISRAELI COUSCOUS WITH PISTACHIOS AND APRICOTS
This recipe was adapted from Veganomics: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook. They write that it is Turkish inspired and suggest serving it with grilled vegetables or sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts, and/or red pepper. It sounds good to me, but I love cardamom and cinnamon. Thank you Citruholic and LA Kate for your helpful reviews! Use Veggie broth if you prefer.
