How to Make Salat Tangiers Moroccan Recipe For Zwt 9

  1. Place 1 cup couscous and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
  2. Add 1 1/4 cups boiling water to the couscous, ensuring it's covered by about 1/2 inch of water.
  3. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let stand for 8-10 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine 1 cup chopped carrots, 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color), and 1/2 cup green beans (trimmed and halved). Add enough water to just cover the vegetables.
  5. Bring the vegetables to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. While the vegetables cook, whisk together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl: 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint, 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Drain the cooked vegetables well and add them to the cooked couscous. Gently fluff with a fork to combine.
  8. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 1/4 cup raisins, and 1/4 cup slivered almonds.
  9. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld before serving. For an extra sweet variation, add 1 tablespoon of honey or sugar to the dressing.
