Serves 4 ( I
tripled the recipe for LATTICE)
1 cup uncooked couscous
1/2 small yellow bell pepper
4 small scallions, white and light green parts only
12 small cherry tomatoes, halved
2 Tablespoons olive oil ( I used a spicy olive oil, which added
some
flavor, if using regular olive oil I'd add a bit of cumin or other
spice for flavor.)
1 Tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice plus grated lemon zest for
garnish
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1. Following the package directions, prepare the couscous,
yielding 2
and a half cups; set the warm couscous aside.
2. Cut the bell pepper into 1-inch-long matchsticks, and transfer
to a
serving bowl. Thinly slice the scallions crosswise, and add to
peppers. add cherry tomatoes.
3. In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil and lemon juice
together.
Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over vegetables, combine with
couscous and toss. Garnish with lemon zest, if desired, and serve.
