Ingredients
1 2/3 c. couscous1 c. oven-roasted tomatoes, halved or quartered if large, plus their oil1 small cucumber, unpeeled and diced4 scallions1/2 c. chopped fresh mint leaves3 T. lemon juice1/3 c. olive oil1 c. goat cheese
Directions
Serves 6.
Put the couscous in a large bowl, andseason well with salt and pepper. Add a splash of the oil from your oven-roasted tomatoes and 2 cups of just-boiled water. Stir, cover, and leave to cool completely, fluffing it up gently now and then so that the bottom does not become a stiff pudding.
Add the cucumber, scallion, mint, and lemon juice to the couscous. Add the tomatoes and the rest of their oil, topping up with the extra olive oil if you don't have enough from the tomatoes, and stir well. Add the goat's cheese, and stir in carefully, especially if it is soft.
