RAW AND COOKED TOMATO AND HERB SALAD WITH COUSCOUS
This is an adaptation of a recipe from Yotam Ottlenghi's cookbook "Plenty." I liked his idea of combining two different types of couscous, as well as both roasted and fresh tomatoes. The roasted tomatoes coat the couscous and add depth to the overall flavor of the dish.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Place the couscous in a microwave-safe bowl and add salt to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon) and 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. Toss together. Cover by 1/2 inch with hot or boiling water. Cover the bowl tightly and let sit 30 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed. Fluff with forks and transfer to a large bowl. If you want the couscous to be really fluffy, once it has absorbed the water, cover the bowl with a plate and microwave for 3 minutes. Remove the bowl from the microwave carefully (it will be hot) and carefully remove the plate. Allow to cool slightly. Add the cooked Israeli couscous or sorghum.
- Meanwhile, core the plum tomatoes, quarter lengthwise and toss with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Place on the baking sheet in a single layer and place in the oven. Roast 30 minutes and remove from the heat. Allow to cool. Pull off the skins from the wedges (they will be loose and will come off in the salad if you don't do this now) and toss, along with any juice from the baking sheet, with the couscous. The tomatoes will break down and clump with the couscous. Add the chopped herbs.
- Dice the heirloom tomatoes and place in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste, the garlic, balsamic vinegar, sherry vinegar, and remaining olive oil and toss together. Add to the couscous and combine well. Mound onto a platter, garnish with basil leaves and cherry tomatoes, and serve.

COUSCOUS SALAD WITH TURMERIC, CHICKPEA AND TOMATO
Turmeric highlights the golden hue of couscous while adding a welcome bit of flavor. The grains are paired with tomatoes, which have been left to sit in red wine and vinegar, infusing them with flavor and making the dressing even more juicy for the couscous-chickpea mix. If you want the onion to be nice and crisp and to take its raw edge off, put the slices in a bowl of ice and water before you cook the couscous. Drain them right before tossing them in. You can add even more crunch by topping the salad with sliced celery or chiles, if you like your food spicy. Either thinly sliced fresh chiles, such as fresno or jalapeños, or preserved ones, like peppadews or hot cherry, work well.

Steps:
- Combine the turmeric, 2 tablespoons oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt with 2 cups water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from the heat. Let stand for at least 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk the vinegar with the remaining 1/4 cup oil and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper in a very large bowl. Add the tomatoes and chickpeas and stir to coat.
- When the couscous is ready, scrape with a fork to fluff into bits. Pour into the tomato mixture, along with the onion, arugula and half the cheese. Fold gently until well mixed, then season to taste with salt and pepper, and dress with additional oil and vinegar, if desired.
- Divide among dishes and top with the remaining feta and the celery or chile, if using.

Steps:

- Blend all the dressing ingredients with 1 tbsp water and ½ tsp sea salt until smooth. Drizzle some over the couscous, then serve the rest on the side for people to help themselves.
