Yield Serves 2 as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup fresh corn (cut from about 2 ears)
1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
1/3 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
11/4 cups water
2/3 cup couscous
2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar
1/4 cup fresh coriander sprigs, washed well, spun dry, and chopped fine
cayenne to taste

Steps:

  • In a heavy skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté corn, stirring, until golden. Add onion, bell pepper, garlic, cumin, and 1/4 cup water and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until bell pepper is crisp-tender.
  • While vegetables are cooking, in a small heavy saucepan bring remaining cup water to a boil and stir in couscous and salt to taste. Cover pan and remove from heat. Let couscous stand 5 minutes and fluff with a fork.
  • In a bowl whisk together vinegar, remaining tablespoon oil, and salt to taste until emulsified. Add vegetable mixture, couscous, coriander, and cayenne and toss to combine well.
