Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

Prep and cook the sausages

Pat the sausages dry with a paper towel; prick in a few places with a fork if desired.

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes, then cut on the diagonal into ¼-inch-thick slices.

While the sausages are cooking, make the couscous.

Cook the couscous

Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the couscous and cook until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain the couscous, then return to the pot and toss with the sweet pea pistou; season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm.

While the couscous is cooking, make the salad.

Make the salad

Trim the root end from the frisée, coarsely chop the frisée.

In a large bowl, toss together the frisée, arugula, and half the sherry vinaigrette. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more vinaigrette as desired.

Serve

Transfer the couscous and salad to individual plates, top with the sliced sausage, garnish with the sunflower seeds, and serve.

Ingredient IQ

Pearl couscous are tiny balls of toasted pasta—about the size of peppercorns. While made with the same ingredients as Moroccan couscous (semolina and water), pearl couscous is larger and a bit more nutty in flavor.
