CURRIED CASHEWS
These curried cashews are impossibly addictive--every time we made them in the Test Kitchen they disappeared in a flash. If you use salted cashews, omit the added salt.

CURRIED COUSCOUS WITH BROCCOLI AND FETA (AND CASHEWS!)
This is from Cooking Light, January 2004. They suggest it as a vegetarian main dish, or you can add meat/seafood to your taste. Posting for safekeeping. I will likely make this with whole wheat couscous or even quinoa.

ROASTED CURRIED CHICKEN WITH COUSCOUS
A great blend of exciting and subtle flavors that are infused into the chicken during cooking, making every bite juicy and lively. As 'lively' as the flavor is, it is also great as a winter comfort food. I like to make the chicken just a bit on the spicy side, as when it is served with a side of mildly spiced couscous it mellows just enough. Makes the whole house smell delicious!

- Menu Suggestions
- An Indian-style legume or vegetable dish goes well with this easy grain preparation. Just ahead in this chapter, you'll find Chana Masala (page 99), a curried chickpea dish. Add a salad of diced tomatoes and cucumbers (with chopped fresh dill or cilantro, if you'd like) in a creamy vegan dressing, and pass around some chutney (store-bought or Apricot Chutney, page 225).
- This also teams well with earthy lentil dishes like Stewed Lentils with Soy Sausage (page 108) or Lentils with Greens and Sun-Dried Tomatoes (page 111). The tomato and cucumber salad described above will complement this meal as well.
- See the menu with Black and White Beans with Citrus and Mint (page 102).
