Yield Makes about 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound (about 1 cup) fresh English peas, shelled
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded, deveined, and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 small carrot, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon coarse salt, plus 1 pinch
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 1/2 cups water
3 ounces (1/2 cup) dried cranberries
2 cups couscous

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add shelled peas, and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer to ice-water bath to stop cooking. Drain, and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, red pepper, carrot, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent and carrots are tender, about 5 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt and curry powder, and cook for 1 minute more.
