Steps:
- In a bowl mix the uncooked couscous with 1/4 cup olive oil and 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Rub the couscous between your fingers to fully incorporate these ingredients.
- In a enamel casserole or couscousiere heat 2 tablespoons of oil over low heat. Add the onions and begin to cook them to a translucent stage. Without browning the onion, add the saffron, tomato paste, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Stir these ingredients quickly and combine well, but take care to avoid burning the tomato paste by working quickly at this stage.
- Pour in the hot enriched stock and bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Place the couscous in its steamer over the simmering broth and allow to simmer gently for 50 minutes, until the couscous has cooked.
- At the end of the required cooking time for the couscous, season the shrimp with salt and pepper, place the peeled shrimp into the simmering broth under the couscous and cook for 3 to 4 additional minutes. The shrimp will gently poach. Two minutes before serving add the calamari.
- Serve the seafood on a bed of couscous, ladle on some broth, and sprinkle the crushed almonds over the whole dish.
- Enriched fish stock: After peeling the shrimp, reserve the shells but discard the vein. Put the fish stock (broth or clam juice may be substituted) into a pot and bring to a gentle boil, lower to a simmer and then add the reserved shrimp shells. Cook together for 20 minutes before straining out the shells and any other solids. Set the enriched stock aside and discard the shells. Keep warm to finish the couscous or cool and refrigerate promptly.
ONE-PAN SHRIMP AND PEARL COUSCOUS WITH HARISSA
This easy dish relies on harissa for its flavorful broth. Different brands can vary wildly in flavor and heat, so incorporate the harissa slowly, especially if yours is very spicy, and add more at the end to taste. The final dish does have some sauciness to it: The starch from the couscous will thicken the sauce in the few minutes it takes to go from stovetop to table, but you may want to provide a spoon along with a fork. If you prefer a drier dish, you can reduce the amount of water by 1/4 cup.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, toss shrimp with 1/4 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of black pepper and 1 tablespoon harissa. Set aside.
- In a large, lidded skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring, until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add couscous, garlic, coriander and cumin. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until couscous is toasted.
- Add wine and cook until evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of harissa and 2 1/2 cups water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes, until couscous is al dente. (There will still be plenty of liquid.)
- Nestle the shrimp into the couscous, pushing them under the surface a bit. Add the tomatoes and increase the heat until simmering again. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook 3 to 4 minutes, rearranging shrimp using tongs once, until they are pink and cooked through. Adjust seasoning, if needed, adding more harissa, salt and pepper if desired. Garnish with parsley and serve in shallow bowls.
ISRAELI COUSCOUS WITH MIXED SUMMER VEGETABLES
This is the best use for Israeli couscous that I've found. Make a delicious vegetable stew, then cook the couscous in the stew. If you are making this ahead, wait until half an hour before you wish to serve, reheat the stew and then cook the couscous in the stew. Otherwise it will soak up too much of the broth overnight.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise and score down the middle, down to but not through the skin. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment, brush with olive oil and place the eggplant on it, cut side down. Roast 15 to 20 minutes, until the skin is beginning to wrinkle. Remove from the heat and allow the eggplant to cool until you can handle it, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until it is tender, about 5 minutes, and stir in the garlic, the spices and salt to taste. Stir together for about 30 seconds, until the mixture is fragrant, and add the tomatoes. Cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in all of the vegetables, the tomato paste, and 2 to 2 1/2 quarts water, enough to cover the vegetables by a good inch. Add salt to taste, the bouquet garni and the chickpeas, bring to a gentle boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the broth is fragrant. Taste and adjust seasonings. If serving the next day, remove from the heat and allow to cool, then refrigerate overnight. Bring back to a simmer about 30 minutes before serving.
- Gradually add the Israeli couscous to the simmering stew, stirring all the while. Stir for a minute or two to make sure the couscous doesn't clump together. Simmer over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, until the couscous is tender. Add freshly ground pepper, taste and adjust salt. Stir in the herbs shortly before serving.
