INSTRUCTIONS

Put the currants, orange juice, lemon juice, 1/3 cup oil, cinnamon,
salt, and cayenne in a jar.  Cover with the lid and shake until the
ingredients are well mixed.  In a medium saucepan, bring the water and
1 tablespoon oil to a boil.  Stir in the couscous.  Immediately remove
from the heat, cover, and  let stand until the water is absorbed, about
6 minutes. Transfer the  couscous to a large bowl, and fluff with a
fork.  Cool completely.  Put 1 inch of water in a large saucepan with a
steamer basket, cover  with the lid, and bring to a gentle boil. Put
the carrot, green  beans, and bell pepper in the steamer basket, cover
with the steamer  (lid? ~K.M.), and steam until the vegetables are a
bright color,  about 3 minutes. Remove the steamed vegetables from the
basket; they  should still have a crunch. Rinse under cold water,
drain, and cool  completely.  Stir the steamed vegetables, onion, and
mint into the couscous. Shake  the Spicy Currant Dressing and pour it
over the salad. Stir until  well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30
minutes to allow the flavors  to blend. Sprinkle the toasted almonds
over the top just before  serving and serve chilled. (If the salad is
prepared more than a few  hours ahead, adjust the seasonings before
serving.)  Source: May All Be Fed - by John Robbins, with recipes by
