TUNISIAN COUSCOUS SALAD WITH GRILLED SAUSAGES



Tunisian Couscous Salad With Grilled Sausages image

This comes from one of my Food and Wine cookbooks. Use whatever kind of sausages you like: hot, mild or a combination. They say to serve this with an Australian Shiraz. I'm posting it for ZWT3. Now I just have to go look up where Tunisia is! LOL. (It is in North Africa between Algeria and Libya)

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/3 cups couscous
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup tomato juice
1 cup water
1 lb Italian sausage
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large frying pan with a lid, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderately low heat. Add the garlic, couscous, cumin, cayenne, and ½ teaspoon of the salt to the pan.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the couscous starts to brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in tomato juice and water. Bring to a simmer.
  • Cover, remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the couscous to a platter or large glass bowl to cool.
  • Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Coat the sausages with ½ tablespoon of the oil.
  • Broil the sausages, turning occasionally, until completely cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat. When the sausages are cool enough to handle, cut them into thin slices.
  • Toss the cooled couscous with the lemon juice and the remaining oil, salt and tomato. Top with the sausages and cilantro.

2 cups uncooked couscous
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, cubed
1 large green pepper, cubed
1 large zucchini, cubed
2 potatoes
2 carrots
14 ounces chickpeas
4 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon chili paste or 1 tablespoon harissa
1/2 tablespoon paprika
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Saute onion and olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add tomato paste, chickpeas, and 1 cup of water, and allow to boil for 15 minutes.
  • Cut vegetables, place them into pot, add 4 1/4 cup of water, and bring to a boil. Allow to cook for 30-45 minutes, or until veggies are cooked.
  • To prepare couscous, place it into a colander or sifter, replacing about 1 cup water with tomato sauce. (NOTE: I used couscous that only needed to sit in hot water for 5 minutes to cook. When doing so, I used 1 cup water and 1 cup of the sauce).
  • Place couscous in a large bowl, pour some of the sauce over it, and arrange vegetables on top.
