Directions

Each of the three grain combinations can be formed using timbales or other molds, or by the quenelle method using two large tablespoons.

COUSCOUS, RICE AND QUINOA: Heat all couscous ingredients in a double boiler until warmed through.

Pack mixture into 6 small timbale molds (or scoop mixture in a tablespoon, round a second tablespoon over the mixture and press spoons together).

Unmold mixture and set aside.

Repeat procedure with basmati rice ingredients; set aside.

Repeat with quinoa ingredients; set aside.

COULIS: Grill, broil or roast corn in their husks for 10 to 12 minutes, until corn is cooked.

Discard husks and remove kernels from cobs.

In a food processor blend kernels with enough water to produce a sauce.

Pass mixture through a fine strainer, and season the liquid with salt and pepper.

TO SERVE: Pour coulis on 6 plates and place one serving of each grain on each plate.

Garnish couscous with fried sage leaves; garnish basmati rice with fried zucchini.

NOTES: To make tomato concasse, peel, seed and dice tomatoes and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.

To make shiitake duxelles, finely mince mushrooms and sauté in oil with a pinch of minced shallot or onion.

To fry sage leaves and zucchini for the garnishes, heat ¾ inch of oil in a pan to 350℉ (180℃) (a drop of water should ripple and pop on surface of the oil); fry sage leaves for 1 minute, remove to a paper towel and drain.

Repeat with finely julienned zucchini, frying just until golden
