PEARL COUSCOUS WITH CREAMY FETA AND CHICKPEAS
Baking pearl couscous with chickpeas, roasted tomatoes and garlic results in a one-pan vegetarian meal that's cozy and very savory, especially if you use a flavorful stock for cooking. Soft and almost porridgelike in texture, it satisfies the same urge as polenta or risotto. Lemon zest and fresh herbs make it bright, while feta, added at the end, gives the whole thing a creamy richness. Save leftovers to bring to work for lunch the next day; they pack up perfectly. If you feel like you need more vegetables here to round out the meal, serve this on a bed of baby spinach, some of which will wilt on contact with the hot couscous.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a 9-inch baking dish, cake pan or gratin dish, toss together tomatoes, scallions, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 tablespoon vinegar, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper and oregano sprigs. Roast until tomatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
- While tomatoes roast, heat the stock until it boils, then stir in remaining 1 teaspoon salt, adding more to taste. (You want a well-seasoned broth here to flavor the couscous.) Stir in cilantro, lemon zest and cumin.
- Remove tomatoes from oven and fold in couscous, chickpeas and hot stock mixture. Cover pan tightly with foil, and return to oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove foil and fold in about 3/4ths of the feta (save the rest for garnish) and Parmesan. Bake uncovered until feta starts to melt, another 5 minutes.
- To serve, pull out and discard herb sprigs if you like, and spoon couscous into bowls. Top with remaining feta, lots more herbs, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

COUSCOUS CAKES
Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, salt 1 1/4 cups water and bring to a boil. Whisk in the couscous. Turn off the heat, cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked couscous to a bowl and mix in the nuts, parsley and egg. Season with salt and pepper. With damp hands, form the couscous into 4 patties, about 1-inch thick (about the same thickness of your first thumb joint).
- Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick pan over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Carefully place the couscous cakes in the pan and cook until golden, turning once, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and serve.
- BYOC: The thing I love about making cakes is I can really throw anything in there. Sticking with the Middle Eastern theme, dates would add a nice texture to these. Plus, you can break up leftovers in a pan for an alternative to fried rice. You can throw any herb in here - basil, thyme or oregano.

PEA & HERB COUSCOUS PATTIES
Steps:
- Prepare couscous: Bring water to boil in saucepan, then stir in couscous and 1 1/2 tsp salt. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, mix yogurt ingredients (marked * above), seasoning with salt and pepper. Set aside in a bowl/container. Using a potato masher, roughly mash the peas in a large bowl. Add 2 Tbl mint and dill, eggs and egg yolks, flour, couscous and 1/2 tsp pepper; mix well. Press couscous mixture into 1/3 cup measure, smooth the top, and invert onto baking sheet or wax paper. Heat 4 Tbl oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Transfer patties to the skillet and using a spatula, gently flatten them to 3/4" thick. Cook until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining oil and patties. Serve warm or at room temperature with beet-yogurt sauce. May be made 1 or 2 days ahead, placed in air-tight container in the refrigerator. About 2 hours before serving, remove from refrigerator but keep lid on to preserve moisture, and allow to get to room temperature.
