COUSCOUS SALAD WITH TURMERIC, CHICKPEA AND TOMATO
Turmeric highlights the golden hue of couscous while adding a welcome bit of flavor. The grains are paired with tomatoes, which have been left to sit in red wine and vinegar, infusing them with flavor and making the dressing even more juicy for the couscous-chickpea mix. If you want the onion to be nice and crisp and to take its raw edge off, put the slices in a bowl of ice and water before you cook the couscous. Drain them right before tossing them in. You can add even more crunch by topping the salad with sliced celery or chiles, if you like your food spicy. Either thinly sliced fresh chiles, such as fresno or jalapeños, or preserved ones, like peppadews or hot cherry, work well.

Steps:
- Combine the turmeric, 2 tablespoons oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt with 2 cups water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from the heat. Let stand for at least 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk the vinegar with the remaining 1/4 cup oil and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper in a very large bowl. Add the tomatoes and chickpeas and stir to coat.
- When the couscous is ready, scrape with a fork to fluff into bits. Pour into the tomato mixture, along with the onion, arugula and half the cheese. Fold gently until well mixed, then season to taste with salt and pepper, and dress with additional oil and vinegar, if desired.
- Divide among dishes and top with the remaining feta and the celery or chile, if using.

SPICY CHICKPEA & SUN-DRIED TOMATO COUSCOUS
Great to prepare as a batch to add into work lunch boxes with baby leaf salad or lovely as a side to accompany a summer BBQ. I sometimes sprinkle some feta cheese onto mine before serving.

Steps:
- Drain the chickpeas & rinse under the tap. Cut the tomatoes into small chunks. Place the chickpeas and tomatoes in a pan and warm through on a medium heat. Stir through the paprika and chilli and season with salt and pepper. Reduce to a low heat.
- Pour your couscous into large bowl and pour over the hot vegetable stock. Put a plate over the bowl and let the couscous absorb the stock. Once the stock is absorbed, check the couscous is nice and soft, then fluff with a fork.
- Add your chickpea and tomato mix into the couscous and fold together. The couscous can be kept int the fridge for up to three days if using for packed lunches.
CHICKPEA, SPINACH AND TOMATO COUSCOUS
I adapted pinkcherryblossom's great recipe for spinach and chickpea curry to make this tasty vegetarian couscous. I changed the combination of spices a bit and substituted canned tomatoes for fresh ones. It's very flavorful and filling but light at the same time. I use Near East couscous mix for the grain: it's ready in 5 minutes as opposed to real couscous which is very long to make. If you don't use spinach in the recipe, you might want to add a little water in step 3. You may also add other vegetables, such as carrot, squash, eggplant or potatoes. Boil or steam them aldente separately and add them in step 3. This makes a perfect vegetarian entree that you can serve along with a mediteranean salad (tomato and cucumber with olive oil and lemon dressing) or simply by itself.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil and add the onions. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until onions are golden. Stir often.
- Add the garlic, spices and salt (not too much as the bouillon is also salted). Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes, spinach, chickpeas, lemon juice and bouillon. Bring to a higher heat for about 3 minutes then let it simmer for about 10 minutes or until the sauce is flavorful but not too thick.
- Prepare the couscous grain according to package directions.
- Serve vegetables over warm couscous and decorate with fresh coriander. Enjoy!
