Braised Squid With Artichokes
Israeli Couscous and Spicy Herb Frittata
In Italy leftover pasta is often recycled into a frittata. I decided to do the same with some Israeli couscous that I had tossed with a spicy Yemeni herb and chili paste called zhoug that I found in Yotam Ottolenghi’s book “Jerusalem.” I liked the couscous with the chili paste better in this pretty frittata than I did on its own. You won’t use up all of the zhoug in the frittata but you will be glad to have the relish on hand to use as a condiment. Note that I do not cook my Israeli couscous in boiling water; I find that it becomes too mushy that way.
