Enhance your barbecue with this zesty, fruity side dish to tantalize your taste buds!

Ingredients:

1 large orange
250.00 ml couscous
250.00 gm boiling water
125.00 ml pitted dried dates, halved
1 small carrot, peeled, grated
250.00 ml fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
62.50 ml pine nuts, toasted
18.20 gm olive oil
1.25 gm ground cumin
5.00 gm caster sugar

Instructions:

In a heatproof bowl, combine couscous and boiling water. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed. Fluff the grains with a fork to separate them.
Peel and separate the orange, squeezing the membrane over a bowl to collect 1/4 cup of juice. Remove the membrane. Combine couscous, orange segments, dates, carrot, mint, and pine nuts in a bowl.
In a screw-top jar, combine oil, cumin, sugar, and reserved orange juice. Season with salt and pepper, secure the lid, and shake well. Pour the dressing over the couscous mixture, toss to combine, and serve.
