Israeli couscous

Everyone needs a back-pocket chicken marinade, and this pantry-friendly version lives up to its name. Great both on the grill and under the broiler.

This dish is a perfect choice for those blustery but bright early spring days: It's comforting from the simple-but-flavorful broth and bright from the crunchy fresh topping.

If this were our party, we’d get all the grilling out of the way early in the day and toss this Mediterranean fantasy of a salad together in our caftans.

Use any cooked grain or other small pasta for this bittersweet number.

Rinsing the cooked couscous stops the cooking and prevents it from sticking together as it cools.
