Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 garlic clove peeled and crushed
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp paprika
- 350ml chicken or vegetable stock
- Good pinch of saffron strands
- 6 salad onions trimmed and thinly sliced
- 225g cous cous
- Coarsely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 2 red chillies deseeded and very finely chopped
- 2 tbsp raisins
- 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds (optional)
- 55g pine nuts toasted
Method
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large, lidded pan over a medium heat. Add the garlic, cumin, coriander and paprika and fry over a gentle heat for 1 minute, stirring.
- Add the stock and saffron and bring to the boil. Add the salad onions, and then pour in the couscous in a steady stream and give it a quick stir.
- Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid, remove from the heat and set aside for 5 minutes, to allow the grains to swell and absorb the stock.
- If you are serving this warm, stir in the rest of the oil and the remaining ingredients now. Otherwise, leave the couscous to cool and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, then add all the other ingredients for a delicious cold couscous salad.
