ORANGE COUSCOUS



Orange Couscous image

Here's a fabulous, healthy side dish that features a delightful blend of fresh herbs and sunny citrus flavors. Says Kathleen Martin of Medford, New York, "Anytime I take this to a picnic...the bowl is always the first one emptied!" TIP: When herbs are fresh and plentiful in her garden, Kathleen Martin chops and freezes them with the oil, lime juice and soy sauce, then stores in Zip-loc bags. That way she can enjoy this tasty dish with fresh herb flavor all year long.

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Buffet

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

300g pack giant couscous (available from Merchant Gourmet)
5 oranges , 3 zested
zest and juice 1 lemon
3 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp harissa

small bunch coriander , chopped
100g bag baby spinach

Steps:

  • Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the couscous and cook following pack instructions. Meanwhile, cut the peel off the oranges with a small fruit knife, then cut into segments - catching any juice in a large bowl. Set the orange segments to one side.
  • When the couscous is cooked, drain, then add to the bowl with the orange juice. Add the orange zest and lemon zest and juice, olive oil, harissa, spices, and some seasoning. Leave to cool, stirring every now and then to prevent it from sticking together. Can now be chilled for up to 24 hrs.
  • Once cooled, add the remaining ingredients, including the orange segments, to the couscous. Gently toss everything together, being careful not to break up the orange too much. Serve at room temperature. Any leftovers can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days.
