I have tasted M&S Giant Cous Cous salad and it is devine. I had never heard of it before and also wondered where to find it. Will have to keep looking back to see where.

Israeli Couscous Pilaf

Serves 4
Israeli couscous is available at Middle Eastern groceries and by mail order.

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 small onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice

3/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Pinch of cayenne pepper

1 2/3 cups Israeli couscous

1 1/4 teaspoons salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley

1. If using Israeli couscous, bring 2 1/2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan; if using regular couscous, reduce amount of water to 2 1/4 cups. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat olive oil and butter over medium-low heat. Add onions, and cook until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in cumin and cayenne pepper, and sauté for 1 minute more.

2. Stir in couscous, salt, pepper, and boiling water. Cover, and simmer over low heat until tender and water is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Add parsley, and serve.
