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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Pour boiling water over couscous in a bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let couscous soak until the water is completely absorbed, about 5 minutes.
- Slice the tops from tomatoes and take a very small slice of the bottoms so they will be stable upright. Use a spoon to remove and discard the tomato innards. Put tomatoes in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake tomatoes in the preheated oven until lightly charred at the edges, about 20 minutes.
- Line the inner walls of each tomato with 4 basil leaves.
- Toss mozzarella cheese with the couscous; stuff into tomatoes. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the top of the stuffed tomatoes.

Steps:
- Tip the couscous into a large bowl along with the pesto and crumble over the stock cube. Pour over 2 teacups (about 400ml/14fl oz) boiling water and give it a good stir to dissolve the stock. Cover with cling film and leave to stand for 10 mins until all the water has been absorbed.
- To make the dressing, mix together the olive oil, pesto and lemon juice. When the couscous has swelled up, pour the dressing over and flake through with a fork, breaking up any clumps. Toss in the mozzarella, tomato and rocket, then serve.

- Chop the onions finely and add them to a large casserole dish. Make sure they are quite finely chopped as they take quite a while to cook in the tomato sauce.
- Add all the other ingredients and mix well. The sauce will look a little dark from the wine but don’t worry, the sauce needs to be quite wine-heavy (rich!). Taste and check for seasoning and spice, adding more tabasco or salt as needed.
