Make a double batch of the almond-currant topping, then use it as a crunchy finish for salads and grain dishes. Though Admony calls for whole-wheat couscous, plain works just as well.

SPICED HERB & ALMOND COUSCOUS



Spiced herb & almond couscous image

This full-flavoured recipe is perfect in summer, it tastes as good hot it does cold

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Buffet, Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Side dish, Snack, Supper, Vegetable

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

red onion , halved and sliced
425ml hot chicken stock (from a cube is fine)
pinch saffron strands, optional
1 fat red chilli , sliced
500g couscous
2 x 20 packs coriander , leaves only
50g toasted whole almond
handful dates , roughly chopped (we used medjool dates)
juice ½ lemon

Steps:

  • Heat some oil in a roasting tray and then add the onions and fry for about 5 mins until just softened. While you're frying, add the saffron strands to the stock if using, so the flavour and colour infuses. (If you are making the Fragrant chicken too (see 'Goes well with') use the same pan to add flavour to this dish and leave the juices in there, but you can tip out some of the chicken fat if you like).
  • Tip the chilli into the tray, fry for 1 min more, then take off the heat. Add the couscous and stock, then cover with cling film for 10 mins. Once the couscous has absorbed all the stock, quickly chop the coriander (if you chop it too soon it will start to wilt), then fork it through the couscous with the almonds, dates and lemon juice and serve straight away. To serve cold, leave to cool, then add the chopped coriander just before eating.

Tips:

  • Use the right couscous. Not all couscous is created equal. For this recipe, you'll want to use a medium-grain couscous. This type of couscous is known for its light and fluffy texture, which is perfect for this dish.
  • Toast the couscous before cooking it. This will help to give it a nutty flavor and a slightly chewy texture.
  • Don't overcook the couscous. Couscous cooks very quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it. Overcooked couscous will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
  • Use a flavorful broth. The broth you use to cook the couscous will add a lot of flavor to the dish. For this recipe, you can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water. If you're using water, you may want to add a little bit of salt or bouillon to give it some flavor.
  • Add some vegetables. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. You can add just about any vegetable you like, such as carrots, celery, zucchini, or broccoli. Just be sure to chop the vegetables into small pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Serve with a protein. This dish can be served as a main course or a side dish. If you're serving it as a main course, you can add some grilled chicken, fish, or shrimp. If you're serving it as a side dish, you can serve it with roasted chicken or fish.

Conclusion:

Almond Coriander Couscous is an easy and delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's made with simple ingredients that are readily available, and it can be on the table in less than 30 minutes. This dish is also very versatile, so you can easily customize it to your own liking. Add some vegetables, protein, or spices to make it your own.
