Instructions
Toasted Israeli Cous Cous Directions:
  1. In a medium pot with a lid, add the Israeli cous cous and place over medium heat. Toast the cous cous for 7 – 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until it’s a golden color.
  2. Add the water, increasing the heat to high. Add the salt, thyme, marjoram, toasted coriander and fennel seeds and bay leaf.
  3. Cook 10 minutes until all the water has been absorbed. Transfer the cous cous to a sheet tray, spreading it out, and allowing it to cool for 30 – 40 minutes.
Spring Vegetable Directions:IPA Dressing Directions:
  1. Prepare the roasted fennel as in the Mediterranean Stuffed Leg of Lamb recipe. Let cool. Add cous cous and toss with the IPA Dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  2. The finished roasted fennel will be sweet, with a wonderful aroma and tender.
  3. Blanch the peas in boiling water for 1 – 2 minutes, then shock in a cold water bath. Place the fennel and peas in a large bowl and add the pea shoots, parsley and pine nuts (toasted to a golden yellow in a 325°F | 163°C oven for about 10 minutes, then cooled).
  4. Pour the salad onto a serving platter and garnish with parsley leaves and a sprinkle of fennel pollen.
IPA Dressing Directions:
  1. In a small bowl, add the IPA, reserved braising liquid from the fennel, salt, citrus juice and zest (that compliment the IPA you choice) and mix together. Set aside until ready to serve.
