Ingredients
- 1 cup pearl or Israeli couscous
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup dried cherries
- 1/2 cup baby spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 tablespoon fig infused or white balsamic vinegar
Recipe Description
Paired with fresh baby spinach and crunchy almonds, cherries lend intense flavor to Israeli couscous. Not much more is needed in this recipe than a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. While dried works great in this dish, when in season, I plan to use the real thing … fresh, tart Washington cherries. I think I may have to wait for the weather to warm just a tad more.
