Preparation
Roast the beets
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Peel and medium-dice the beets. On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ¾ of the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 20 to 23 min., until tender.
Boil the couscous
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the couscous; stir gently to separate. Boil, 8 to 10 min., until tender. Drain and rinse. Transfer to a medium bowl and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent clumping.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, remove the stem ends of the string peas; thinly slice crosswise on an angle. Core and cut the apple into matchsticks (or core and small-dice); toss with a splash of the vinaigrette to prevent browning. Thinly slice the scallions crosswise. Roughly chop the cashews.
Make the vinaigrette
In a small bowl, combine the cashews, ½ the scallions, the remaining spices and vinaigrette, and 2 tsp water (double for 4 portions).
Dress the couscous
To the bowl of couscous, add the remaining scallions and S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the couscous between your bowls. Top with the beets, baby greens, string peas and apple. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and season with S&P. Bon appétit!
