2. Cooking Directions
- Heat the broiler or grill. In a medium bowl, combine the cooking oil, coriander, soy sauce, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Mix well. Add the mushrooms; coat thoroughly.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Stir in the couscous. Cover, remove from the heat, and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and transfer to a bowl.
- Add the scallions, cucumber, tomatoes, cilantro, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, and the remaining 2 teaspoons of salt to the couscous. Toss to combine.
- Divide the mushrooms among four skewers. Broil or grill the mushrooms, turning occasionally, until they are tender and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Serve over the couscous.

Notes:
Wine
We don't often think of sparkling wine as an accompaniment to food; its usual place is as an aperitif. Here, however, a rose Champagne, with its crisp acidity, hint of red fruit, and subtle earthy undertow, will be truly exciting.

genusandspecies - April 29, 2007 09:28:02 AM PSTLike the above reviewer, I thought this calorie count was astronomical, until I saw that 1,200 calories (in the entire recipe) were from oil (100 calories a tablespoon). Cut it back to two tablespoons cooking oil for the mushrooms, and two tablespoons for the couscous, and it will work fine.
