Ingredients
-
2 cups water
-
1 cup couscous
-
1/2 organic orange zest, minced
-
2 teaspoons cumin seeds, toasted and ground
-
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
-
2 tablespoons chives (fresh) chopped
-
1 tablespoon mint (fresh) chopped
-
1/2 cup pummelo juice (fresh)
-
Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Bring the water to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in the couscous and orange zest.
Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
Add the cumin, oil, chives, mint, and pummelo juice and gently fluff together with a fork so the delicate grains of the couscous are not mashed. Season with salt and pepper.
Recipe Note
This side dish can be served hot or cool, and is best presented in a mold. Just lightly oil a ramekin or small cup, pack with the cooked couscous, and invert onto serving plates.
