Preparation
Roast the beets
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Peel and medium-dice the beets.
- On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ¾ of the spices and S&P.
- Roast, stirring halfway, 20 to 23 min., until tender.
Boil the couscous
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the couscous; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 8 to 10 min., until tender.
- Drain and rinse.
- Transfer to a medium bowl and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent clumping.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, remove the stem ends of the string peas; thinly slice crosswise on an angle.
- Core and cut the apple into matchsticks (or core and small-dice); toss with a splash of the vinaigrette to prevent browning.
- Thinly slice the scallions crosswise.
- Roughly chop the cashews.
Make the vinaigrette
- In a small bowl, combine the cashews, ½ the scallions, the remaining spices and vinaigrette, and 2 tsp water (double for 4 portions).
Dress the couscous
- To the bowl of couscous, add the remaining scallions and S&P; stir well.
Plate your dish
- Divide the couscous between your bowls.
- Top with the beets, baby greens, string peas and apple.
- Drizzle with the vinaigrette and season with S&P. Bon appétit!
