Here is a Couscous Salad which cries for excellent harissa. I will be

posting a harissa recipe from Shulman's Best Vegetarian Recipes. So look

out for that harissa recipe.

NOTES : Adapted from " Off the Shelf, " this salad combines lightning-fast

couscous and vegetables with a spicy dressing. It's a good way to

refresh leftover vegetables — use whatever you have on hand.

 

Note: Harissa is a Tunisian hot sauce seasoned with caraway, cumin,

coriander and garlic, used as an accompaniment to couscous. Look for it

in cans or jars in Middle Eastern markets. Or substitute Thai chili

paste, available at most grocery stores.

 

Eruna.note: The original recipe calls for chicken stock which I have

replaced with vegetable stock. Also, my suggestion is to prepare harissa

yourself. It's real easy and so much tastier than store bought harissa.

See Shulman's recipe.
