Recipe from the Wyllie Fox Farm Kitchen

Tomato Couscous
  • 4 cups diced tomatoes
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1½ cups instant couscous (10 oz. box)
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 wide strips lemon zest
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • pinch cayenne
  • ½ cup roughly chopped mint leaves (stems saved)
  • ½ cup roughly chopped flat leaf parsley (stems saved)
  • 3 scallions (white & green), thinly sliced
  • ½ cup toasted pine nuts

Toss the tomatoes, lemon juice & 1 tsp. salt in a bowl & set aside.

Put the couscous in a large bowl.  Bring the water, lemon zest, 3 tbsp. olive oil, 1 tsp. salt, cayenne & herb stems to a boil over high heat.  Pour the liquid over the couscous & stir to separate any clumps.  Cover with a lid or plate and set aside for 5 minutes.  Remove the zest & herb stems and fluff with a fork.

Add the tomatoes, scallions, mint, parsley & pine nuts.  Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the salad, toss & serve.

Serves 6-8
