Recipe Introduction
Bright orange and fresh herbal flavors, warmed with a touch of cinnamon, combine in this very versatile grain salad. It's great for buffets and picnics. Leftovers make for a quick sandwich when spooned into pita bread. Look for whole-wheat couscous at whole foods stores or large supermarkets
List of Ingredients
1 3/4 cups (12 oz/360 g) whole-wheat couscous
1/4 cup (2 fl oz/60 ml) thawed orange juice concentrate
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups (20 fl oz/600 ml) boiling water
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, preferably Italian flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallion greens
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint, optional
Freshly ground black pepper
2 large navel oranges, sectioned and diced
Recipe
1 In a large bowl, stir together couscous, orange juice concentrate, lemon juice, olive oil, cinnamon and salt. Pour in boiling water, stir to mix and set aside until the liquid has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Fluff couscous with a fork.
2 Stir in parsley, scallion greens, mint (if using) and pepper. Toss gently to mix. Add oranges and toss again. Serve at room temperature.
