CARAMELIZED ONION AND LEMON COUSCOUS

Steps:

• Toast almonds in a dry hot skillet for a few minutes, tossing frequently to avoid burning until lightly browned and fragrant. Set aside.
• Slice onion. In an even layer in a wide skillet, sautée onion on medium-high heat with olive oil for several minutes until they start to soften. Add vinegar and a pinch of salt and cook for 8-10 minutes, until soft and sweet. If they start to stick before they've cooked fully, add a splash of water and continue cooking. Add in chopped kale and sautée for an additional minute or two until beginning to wilt.
• In the meantime, in a small pot, bring 1 cup of water to boil with 1 tablespoon olive oil and ½ teaspoon salt. Remove it from the heat and add in the dry couscous. Stir well, and then cover the pot and let sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and then keep the lid on until serving.
• Combine the onion and kale mixture with the fluffed couscous and chopped lemon and lemon juice. Taste and adjust with additional olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Serve topped with toasted almonds.

COUSCOUS WITH LAMB, ONIONS, AND RAISINS

Steps:

• Let the raisins soak in warm water for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, put the sliced onion in a small cooking pot with water to cover, and boil gently for about 25 minutes, until the onion is soft and the water has evaporated. Stir in the butter, olive oil, and honey, and cook another 5 minutes, until golden and caramelized. While the onion is cooking, prepare the couscous by bringing 3/4 cup water to a boil in a small cooking pot and sprinkling in the couscous. Boil for 1 minute, add the salt and butter, then stir and cover. Now heat the shank meat in its cooking sauce.
• When all is ready, spoon out the couscous onto a warm dinner plate, moisten it with a little of the lamb sauce, then make an indentation and spoon the meat and the rest of the sauce into it along with the honey/sweet onion/raisin mix, and scatter the almonds on top.
