Measure water into 1 2-cup glass measure. Microwave on high 3 minutes, or until boiling. Stir in couscous, cover with plastic wrap and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with fork.

Add mango, basil, chives, cumin, pine nuts and couscous; toss to combine. Pack mixture into six individual 1/2 cup molds.

Arrange arugula wagon-wheel fashion on six large plates. Unmold couscous in center of plate. Garnish with reserved orange sections. Drizzle with Citrus Vinaigrette.

CITRUS VINAIGRETTE:

Add oil, vinegar, soy sauce and chili sauce to fruit juices in bowl; whisk to blend. Add peppercorns, ginger, cilantro, diced fruit and salt; stir to combine. Makes about 1 1/4 cups.

Easy to make, the waiting was worst part(3 hr. chill time). It was very "Potent" as it said even after we cut the rum in half like it said. We loved it though and will reduce the rum even more this time! it was thick, creamy and went down so smooth. We doubled the batch and it was gone way to fast for only two people. So, may I suggest a triple or quad batch since the 3 hour wait to chill it seemed so long!!!
