This fresh Middle Eastern-inspired couscous salad features zingy ras el hanout, sumac and herbs on a bed of couscous with raisins – it’s filling, flavoursome and makes for an easy, satisfying meal that's on the table in 30 minutes.
| Salad | Dressing |
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 Red onions, thinly sliced
- 250 ml Chicken stock or water
- 2 tbsp Ras el hanout
- 200 g Organic couscous
- 80 g Raisins
- 500 ml Hot chicken stock
- 70 g Arugula
- Parsley, roughly chopped
- 50 g Flaked almonds, toasted
- Sumac, to taste
|
- 3 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp Pomegranate molasses (or Balsamic syrup or honey)
- 1 Lemon, juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste
|
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over a medium heat and cook the sliced red onions with a large pinch of sea salt for 5 minutes until beginning to brown. Pour in 250ml chicken stock or water and rapidly boil for 10 minutes or until all the liquid has evaporated and the onions have softened. Turn down the heat and cook for 10 minutes more until the onions are sticky and caramelised. Stir in the ras el hanout and cook for another few minutes. Season and leave to cool.
- Put the couscous and raisins in a large heatproof bowl and pour over the hot chicken stock. Cover and leave for 10 minutes until all the stock has been absorbed, then fluff up with a fork. Leave to cool.
- Whisk all the ingredients for the dressing together. Season.
- Scrape the caramelised onions into the couscous. Add the arugula, parsley and dressing, and toss really well. Tip onto a platter and top with the flaked almonds and sumac.

ReplyDeleteAngie, That is a beautiful salad but I'm not sure where I could find some of the ingredients... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteI must admit that at first glance, this recipe didn't sound particularly appealing, although as ever, it looked great!
ReplyDeleteHowever, once again the flavour combination won me over and of course I had fun checking out "ras el hanout".
I'm not sure that I shall remember all the lovely authentic ingredients you so often mention in your recipes, but I have made a note of one or two of the best sounding ones!
Enjoy your Wednesday and thanks for sharing :)
So pretty, as luck would have it, I have some sumac on hand.
