Preparation
- Place the regular couscous in a saucepan and add 1 1/2 cups of boiling water. Mix, cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and pour into a bowl.
- In the same saucepan over medium heat, add the pearl couscous followed by a thin drizzle of olive oil. Cook for 1 minute, stirring.
- Add 1 1/4 cups of water (or according to package directions) and mix. Cover, bring to a boil and mix. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the liquid is all absorbed and the couscous is cooked. Pour into a colander, rinse with cold water and add to the salad bowl.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the salad bowl, season with salt and pepper then mix. Perfect to accompany your favorite grilled meats or as a summer dinner with a baguette and a fire cheese!

Foradori Lezèr 2024
Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy
The Foradori Lezèr, a red from Italy made of Teroldego, a grape that tends to be fruity and fresh, goes after the ripe tomato in the tabbouleh and lets the mint, parsley and lemon do their thing. A red like this doesn't weigh down next to so many herbs. Give it a little time in the fridge before serving and it will be even better.

Saison, 6.6%
Microbrasserie Pie Braque
Tabbouleh is parsley, mint and lemon above all. The clove, pepper and lemon zest on the nose of this Saguenay saison intertwine with the fresh herbs and make them more present. Its lemony notes lift the tomato instead of flattening it.
