Yield Serves 2 as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup fresh corn (cut from about 2 ears)
1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
1/3 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
11/4 cups water
2/3 cup couscous
2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar
1/4 cup fresh coriander sprigs, washed well, spun dry, and chopped fine
cayenne to taste

Steps:

  • In a heavy skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté corn, stirring, until golden. Add onion, bell pepper, garlic, cumin, and 1/4 cup water and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until bell pepper is crisp-tender.
  • While vegetables are cooking, in a small heavy saucepan bring remaining cup water to a boil and stir in couscous and salt to taste. Cover pan and remove from heat. Let couscous stand 5 minutes and fluff with a fork.
  • In a bowl whisk together vinegar, remaining tablespoon oil, and salt to taste until emulsified. Add vegetable mixture, couscous, coriander, and cayenne and toss to combine well.

This salad is so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add some chopped avocado or black beans for extra protein.
