DATE AND OLIVE COUSCOUS WITH GARLIC SHRIMP
An interesting and unusual blend of flavors. A little sweet for me. I would cut back on the dates making this again. From the LCBO's Food&Drink, Holiday 2009.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-hight. Sauté onions until golden, about 10 minutes. Add zucchini, garlic, chili flakes, and ginger and continue to cook until zucchini is tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in cumin, dates, and olives and warm through.
- Add warm vegetable mixture to prepared couscous, stir in cilantro, mint, lemon juice and zest. Stir to combine and season with salt to taste.
- Heat oil in medium frying pan over medium-high.Add garlic and chili flakes, stirring until garlic is fragrant and light golden. Do not let it brown.
- Add shrimp and sauté until all the shrimp have tust turned pink and are cooked through, about 8 minutes. Season to taste. Top couscous with shrimp, drizzle with olive oil and an additional sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
- I took a shortcut, using pre-cooked shrimp and throwing them in with the onions in the first recipe (with some extra garlic). I don't see why this recipe should be two seperate steps.

Steps:
- Bring the water, stock, and oil to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the dates followed by the couscous. Cover the pan tightly with a lid, remove from the heat, and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
GARLIC CHICKEN WITH ISRAELI COUSCOUS
Steps:
- For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place the garlic bulbs in the oven and roast until soft, about 30 minutes. Remove and let cool. When the bulbs are cool enough to handle, slice off the tops and squeeze the cloves into the bowl of a food processor.
- Add the lemon zest and juice, cumin, and crushed red pepper to the garlic. Season the mixture with salt and puree until smooth. While the machine is running, drizzle in 1/4 cup olive oil. Taste and reseason if needed.
- Place the chicken in a large dish or on a baking sheet and massage the garlic mixture onto the skin of each piece-really lube it up! Let the chicken sit at room temp for up to 2 hours or, if longer than 2 hours, in the fridge. HINT, HINT: This can be done WAY ahead of time!
- For the couscous:
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil-taste the water to make sure it is salty like the ocean! Add the couscous and cook until it's two-thirds of the way done, 5 to 6 minutes. Strain and reserve.
- Coat a large saute pan with olive oil, toss in the onion and celery, and bring to medium-high heat. Season with salt and crushed red pepper and cook until soft, 7 to 8 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato paste, white wine, and saffron and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes.
- Toss in the zucchini, reserved couscous, pine nuts, thyme bundle, and bay leaf and stir to combine. Add 1 1/2 cups chicken stock and stir. The couscous should be a little soupy. If it isn't, add the remaining 1/2 cup chicken stock. Taste and reseason if needed. Remove and discard the bay leaf and the thyme bundle. Transfer the mixture to a large baking dish-one big enough to hold the chicken as well-and reserve.
- To assemble:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring it to medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown the chicken on all sides. Be patient, this may take up to 6 to 8 minutes. BE SURE not to crowd the pan. If you do, the chicken will steam and get soggy rather than brown and crispy . . . not yummy.
- Nestle the browned chicken skin side up in the prepared couscous. Cover with foil and place in the oven. Roast the chicken for 20 minutes, remove the foil, and roast for another 15 minutes.
- When the chicken is cooked through, remove from the oven and top with the chopped scallions and cilantro to serve.

COUSCOUS WITH OLIVES AND SUN-DRIED TOMATO
A delicate, flavorful dish that will satisfy vegans and carnivores alike! Inspired by my family's deep Coptic Orthodox Christian tradition, this is a great meal alternative during strict fasting times. It contains no animal products or fats, but has enough flavor and visual impact to make you feel like you're not sacrificing a thing! I hope you will enjoy this recipe. Add chicken or prawns to make this vegan dish a carnivorous delight!
