CRANBERRY COUSCOUS
Although it looks like a grain, couscous is actually a type of pasta. The couscous pellets cook very quickly due to their small size. You'll find it near the Middle Eastern or Mediterranean foods.

CURRIED COUSCOUS SALAD WITH DRIED SWEET CRANBERRIES
For a picnic, there's no way I'm going to pass on making couscous. Instant Couscous so easy, it's almost embarrassing. The only "cooking" involved is boiling some water. I love it! Of course, you need to add some flavor to the couscous, but that's not hard. When you spike it with curry powder, fresh herbs, and a splash of orange and lemon juice, no one will be complaining about blandness. This dish tastes great at room temperature, and that makes it a picnic no-brainer because you can make it hours ahead of time.

Steps:
- Stir the couscous, cranberries, curry powder, salt, and sugar together in a heatproof bowl. Bring water (amount will be listed on package directions) to a boil and pour it over the couscous. Add the orange juice. Give it a big stir, cover the bowl tightly and let it stand, giving it a big stir once or twice, until the water is absorbed and the couscous is tender, about 5 minutes.
- Fluff up the couscous with a fork. Add the olive oil, scallions, parsley, lemon juice, and walnuts. Stir around until everything is distributed evenly throughout the couscous. Make up to 2 hours ahead of time and keep at room temperature until you're ready to serve. Check the seasonings just before you serve the salad and add salt and pepper, to taste.
- Note: To toast the walnuts, spread them out on a baking sheet and bake in a 400 degree F oven until they turn a shade darker, about 8 minutes.

CRANBERRY COUSCOUS MUESLI
A copycat version of Wildtime Foods' muesli mix made here in Oregon. Please note that all the ingredient amounts are estimated and feel free to alter the proportions. Wildtime Foods uses apple juice-sweetened cranberries for their muesli mix but I substituted orange juice sweetened cranberries because that's what was on hand. Perfect for camping, traveling, the office...

Steps:
- There are three ways to prepare muesli. Directions for one serving: #1. Place 1/2 cup of the mixture in a heatproof cereal bowl. Pour boiling water over it enough to completely saturate, stir, cover and set aside for 5 minutes.
- Or, #2. If you like it cold, just pour on milk, soy milk, rice milk, etc. and let it sit for 5 minutes to soften.
- Lastly, #3: Cook muesli by boiling 1 cup of water in a sauce pan; add 1/2 cup muesli; cook on medium heat 3-5 minutes. I *only* tested this recipe with Option #1.
- Remove lid, stir and add your favorite toppings: cream, soy milk, pinch of cinnamon, sprinkle of brown sugar, etc.

CRANBERRY MUESLI
From EatingWell Magazine (2007), there may be as many versions of muesli as there are breakfast cereals, but this one's modeled after the original Swiss wake-you-up -- a combination of overnight-soaked grains, nuts, dried fruit and yogurt. Make it the night before and you'll have breakfast ready when you are.

Steps:
- Boil the kettle. Put the couscous, cranberries and spices in a large bowl. Dot with the butter and pour over 350ml boiling water. Cover immediately with cling film and leave for 5 mins to steam. Remove the film and fluff with a fork to loosen the couscous grains. Cool, stir in the pine nuts and herbs, then season to taste. Cut 6 squares of baking parchment about 30 x 30cm.
- Season the salmon fillets, spoon the couscous in mounds in the centre of the parchment squares, then dot with a little butter. Top each with a piece of salmon, scatter with a little orange zest and drizzle with a little juice. Fold the sides of the paper over, then fold up the ends to make a parcel. Tie with string and secure with a bow. Stir together the cranberry sauce, orange zest and juice, then set aside in a serving bowl. The parcels can be chilled for up to 1 day. Be sure to remove them from the fridge 20 mins before cooking.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the parcels on a baking sheet in the middle of the oven and cook for 15 mins, or 20 mins if you prefer your salmon well done. Pop the parcels onto plates and let your guests unwrap their own supper. Serve with Garlic & feta broccoli and the cranberry & orange sauce.

ORANGE CRANBERRY COUSCOUS LIKE WHOLE FOODS'

CRANBERRY COUSCOUS SALAD
I got this delicious recipe from a co-worker after she brought it to a potluck. It was definitely one of the hits of the day! Originally from Southern Living. Update Dec '09: I've now made this multiple times since originally posting; it is one of my absolute favorites for a potluck! I usually double it but find that if you cook double the amount of couscous at once, it can get gummy, so I cook it in two separate batches (cook one then use the same pot to do the next), then add the rest of the (doubled) ingredients.
