| 1/2 | cup | currants | |
| 1/4 | cup | orange juice | |
| 1/4 | cup | lemon juice | |
| 1/3 | cup | canola oil | |
| 1/4 | teaspoon | cinnamon | ground |
| 1/2 | teaspoon | sea salt | |
| 1/8 | teaspoon | cayenne pepper | |
| 3 | cups | water | |
| 1 | tablespoon | canola oil | |
| 1 1/2 | cups | couscous | whole wheat |
| 1 | medium | carrot | finely chopped |
| 1 | cup | green beans | sliced |
| 1 | medium | sweet red bell pepper | seeded, finely chopped |
| 1/2 | small | red onion | finely chopped |
| 1/4 | cup | mint | fresh, finely chopped |
| 1/2 | cup | almonds | tamari-toasted, coarsely chopped, optional |
Put the currants, orange juice, lemon juice, 1/3 cup oil, cinnamon, salt, and cayenne in a jar.
Cover with the lid and shake until the ingredients are well mixed.
In a medium saucepan, bring the water and 1 tablespoon oil to a boil.
Stir in the couscous.
Immediately remove from the heat, cover, and let stand until the water is absorbed, about 6 minutes.
Transfer the couscous to a large bowl, and fluff with a fork.
Cool completely.
Put 1 inch of water in a large saucepan with a steamer basket, cover with the lid, and bring to a gentle boil.
Put the carrot, green beans, and bell pepper in the steamer basket, cover with the steamer lid and steam until the vegetables are a bright color, about 3 minutes.
Remove the steamed vegetables from the basket; they should still have a crunch.
Rinse under cold water, drain, and cool completely.
Stir the steamed vegetables, onion, and mint into the couscous.
Shake the Spicy Currant Dressing and pour it over the salad.
Stir until well coated.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the top just before serving and serve chilled.
(If the salad is prepared more than a few hours ahead, adjust the seasonings before serving.)

Because of its size, the gastronomy of Texas is analogous to a country, namely, a myriad of culinary influences that vary from region to region. Western Texans are best known for their...
Makes a really nice couple of loaves. The directions are easy to follow, nice because this was the first time I'd ever made this particular bread, and the results are lovely. The instructions call for five of the six cups of flour to be added; the last cup is to make the dough stiffer if need be and flour the board, I am assuming, since that is what you generally do in bread making.
Curry those chicken legs with this delicious recipe that uses lemon juice and plain yogurt.
