70 g unsalted butter
60 g chopped dates
45 g chopped dried apricots
55 g golden raisins
345 g dry couscous
7 g ground cinnamon
70 g slivered almonds, toasted
Pour the vegetable broth into a large saucepan, and bring to a boil. Add the butter, apricots, dates and raisins. Boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in the couscous. Cover, and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in the cinnamon and toasted almonds, and serve.
Grilled Romaine Salad
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
8 Roma (plum) tomatoes, halved lengthwise
2 shallots, halved lengthwise and peeled
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 3/4 cups olive oil
4 romaine hearts
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Mix olive oil, white sugar, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Place tomatoes in the bag, seal, and shake to coat. Arrange coated tomato halves cut side up on a baking sheet. Bake tomatoes 2 1/2 hours in the preheated oven. Remove from heat, and let cool. In a blender or food processor, finely chop the shallots. Add vinegar and brown sugar, and process until smooth. Slowly add 1 3/4 cups oil, processing frequently, so as to thicken the mixture. Preheat grill for high heat. Brush romaine hearts with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place romaine hearts on the preheated grill. Cook 5 to 10 minutes, turning frequently, until slightly charred but not heated all the way through. Serve warm on salad plates surrounded by tomato pieces and drizzled with the shallot dressing.

hi BBW, couldnt get back to you on friday, as work was not permitting! the cous-cous was delicious, but i could not use the vinegarette recipe i intended as i had no molasses (treacle). instead i had a warmed onion dressing, which was onion & garlic heated in oil with 3 tablespoons cider vinegar, 3 tablspoons apple juice and 3 teaspoons of mustard powder and i have to say it worked very well. oh, and i love the sound of the spinach (and blue cheese) dish - it might end up on my table with xmas dinne!
