serving dumplings | Pearl couscous with caramelized carrots, cashew nuts and pomegranate

I came across this pearl couscous in the store and I had to buy it and make something! The result is this great salad with pomegranate and caramelized carrots in orange juice with chili and cashew nuts. I like these light and fresh flavors with a bit of crunch.
The taste of roasted carrots with orange and pomegranate is a great combo! I finished the salad with honey vinaigrette and a hint of fresh citrus.
This is really one of my favorite salads. Simple but full of the right amount of sweet and spicy flavors. Perfect for lunch, as a side dish or in your lunchbox at work!

Ingredients

  • 120 g pearl couscous
  • 6 small carrots
  • 4 tablespoons cashew nuts
  • 1 orange, peeled and cubed
  • juice of 1 orange
  • seeds of 1 pomegranate
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 4 spring onions, sliced into rings
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 4 sprigs thyme
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 chilli, finely chopped
  • salt and black pepper

vinaigrette

  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • juice of 1/2 orange
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 chilli, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Peel the carrots, place on a baking sheet greased with olive oil and sprinkle with cashew nuts. Add the chopped chili pepper, the juice of one orange, thyme and rosemary. Add unpeeled garlic and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with aluminium foil and bake for 25 minutes at 200°C. Remove the foil and bake for 20 minutes more. Then squeeze out the garlic on the vegetables.
Boil the pearl couscous in salted water until tender, drain.

Combine all the ingredients for the vinaigrette together.
In a large bowl, mix the couscous with red onion, scallions, cubed orange and pomegranate seeds. Add the roasted carrots with cashews  and pour the vinaigrette.
Enjoy!

    Everything about this salad sounds so wonderful, especially that vinaigrette! This is the perfect warm salad for this (unfortunate) cold spring!
