Steps:
- Cook 1 cup Israeli couscous (or other small pasta or grain) according to package directions; toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Meanwhile, prepare Grilled Tomatoes (see recipe). Brush 1/2 head radicchio with oil; grill over high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly charred, 5-8 minutes. Let cool; coarsely chop. Toss with tomatoes, 1/4 thinly sliced small red onion, and couscous; season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with shaved ricotta salata, chopped toasted almonds, and fresh parsley and oregano leaves.
ISRAELI COUSCOUS, BEAN AND TOMATO SALAD
Finely chopped tomatoes seasoned with garlic, balsamic vinegar and basil serve as both dressing and vegetable in this main dish salad. I've been making tomato concassée all summer and using it as a sauce for pasta and fish. I decided to use it as a stand-in for salad dressing in this hearty salad, a simple combination of cooked Israeli couscous and beans. I used canned pinto beans, and they were just fine. Chickpeas would also work. Use lots of basil in the mix. The red onion contributes some crunch. You can add a little celery if you want more texture. Make sure to use sweet, ripe, juicy tomatoes. I love the finishing touch of the feta, but it is optional.

ISRAELI TOMATO SALAD
Steps:
- Toss 1 cup each diced cucumber, tomato, green bell pepper and scallions with 3 tablespoons chopped dill, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, the juice of 1 lemon and 1/2 cup olive oil in a large bowl.
- Season with salt.
ISRAELI COUSCOUS AND ARUGULA SALAD
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add couscous and cook 8 to 10 minutes, until couscous has puffed up and is cooked through to the center. Drain and allow to cool. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Prepare dressing by whisking together the lemon juice and mustard while drizzling in the olive oil. Once slightly emulsified, stir in pepper flakes and season with salt and cracked black pepper.
- Toss the tomato, currants, cucumber, red bell pepper, onion and arugula with the couscous. Pour the dressing over top. Season with salt and pepper to taste and toss to the combine.
ISRAELI COUSCOUS, EGGPLANT AND TOMATO GRATIN
This is an eggplant Parmesan of sorts on top of a bed of Israeli couscous. If you've made fresh tomato sauce over the summer or you're still getting wonderful tomatoes at the farmers' market, use fresh tomato sauce; otherwise, use canned tomatoes for your marinara sauce. You can substitute cooked grains for the Israeli couscous; if you don't tolerate gluten, try the recipe using cooked brown rice instead. I like to use Japanese or baby Italian eggplants for this.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and coat foil generously with olive oil. Toss eggplant slices with salt to taste and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Line baking sheet with the slices in a single layer (you may need 2 baking sheets, or do this in batches). Place in oven and roast for 15 minutes. Eggplant will look dry on surface but should be soft when pierced with a knife. Remove from oven and, wearing oven mitts, carefully fold the foil up in half over the eggplant and crimp edges to create a sealed packet. Allow eggplant to steam inside the packet for another 15 minutes (you can cook couscous during this time). Turn oven down to 375 degrees.
- Oil a 2-quart gratin or baking dish with olive oil. Place cooked Israeli couscous in a bowl and stir in 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce. Spoon into baking dish in an even layer.
- Remove eggplant slices from foil packet (they should be thoroughly tender), and layer on top of couscous, overlapping slices slightly. Cover with remaining tomato sauce and sprinkle on Parmesan cheese. Drizzle on remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Place in oven and bake 30 minutes, until browned and bubbling. Allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with torn or slivered basil leaves just before serving.

ISRAELI COUSCOUS, TOMATO AND MOZZARELLA SALAD
My modifications to #116054. The Israeli couscous really makes this a wonderful salad. A small round pasta such as Pearl Pasta can also be substituted. Can be served right away, but best if refrigerated for a few hours. Great for using up tomatoes and basil from the garden. If using larger tomatoes, dice and drain prior to mixing.
