Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large saute pan or non-stick wok. Fry the leeks and garlic on a medium heat for 2-3 minutes to soften, then add the salt and preserved lemon, and stir to combine. Tip in the Israeli couscous and continue frying for another 2 minutes or until the little couscous balls start to go golden.
- Add half the boiling water and the peas. Boil until most of the water has soaked in, then add the rest of the water and cook on a high heat until it has also been sucked up by the couscous.
- Remove from the heat, add the mint and parsley and stir well. Finally crumble the goats' cheese all over and serve.

Steps:
- For efficiency, let the shallots pickle while you prepare the remaining ingredients. In a small saucepan, bring vinegar, sugar and a pinch of salt to a simmer over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Add shallots, stir, cover and remove from heat. Allow to cool for about 30 minutes. Drain and roughly chop shallots. Set aside. Using a medium saucepan, heat couscous and oil over medium heat for about 6 minutes or until half the grains are golden brown. Add water and salt, stir. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Stir. Reduce heat to low, cover and allow to simmer for about 10 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Turn off heat and let stand, still covered for 3 minutes. Next, grab a baking sheet. Spread the couscous in a single layer and cool. Set aside. Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, mustard, red pepper flakes, and salt in a large bowl. Add couscous and toss in dressing. Then add arugula, mint, peas, 1/2 cup feta and shallots. Toss gently. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a pretty bowl. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of feta. Add a squeeze of lemon juice over the salad if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature. This salad is best the day it is made, but does make nice leftovers for lunch or dinner the next day. Enjoy!
