minuutes. Add to the couscous. Gently stir in the red onion,
currants, and almonds. Whisk all the ingredients for the marinade
together. Add to the coucous mixture and allow this final mixture to

cool throughtout. Don t allow the couscous to sit any longer than
this or it will become mushy. One serving(1/12 mixture, about 1/2
cup) (1/2 cup does this mean that we must have 10 other people over
for lunch, you all come!)
