WILD RICE COUSCOUS & ORANGE BLOSSOM HONEY SALAD WITH FRUIT AND NUTS.

 INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup of couscous
1 cup of boiling water
3/4 cup wild rice. 
3 cups of water (for while rice)
1/2 cup golden raisens
1/2 cup walnuts
1/2 slivered almonds
2 Table spoons of Orange Blossom honey.
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon turmeric.
1 Red bell pepper.
1 apple
Sesame seeds for topping.  

First tame your wild rice.  :)

Put you wild rice in a pot with 3 cups of water, bring to a steady boil than turn down to low.   Wild rice cook very
 differently from other rices it does not soak up all the water, so when it is done you'll have to strain off the water.  Let the rice simmer on low for 20 minutes.    Wild rice has a extremely nutty texture.  While that is cooking get your couscous ready.

Put 1/2 cup of couscous in a glass dish and pour exactly 1 cup of boiling water over it and let it rest for 20 minutes to absorb all the water.

 Get out your fixings. 

 Put all in a pot with spices and honey.  Turn the burner to Medium high.  We are not cooking we are coating. Were heating up the honey so we can coat every thing evenly and mixing in the spice.








So when it looks like this it is done.  Take it off the burner.








Take your apple and red bell and  slice them then dice them like shown in the picture.  
 Mix the wild rice and couscous together.
 Add the nut's, apple and bell pepper. 
 Mix in. 
 Yum!    We had this for dinner and it was 100% satisfying and very filling.   It's nice not to have a meat dish.      And this is very healthy.
