For me, this salad was a revelation. Unusual, with an amazing taste, I would even say that the salad has a rich game of flavors and an unusual combination of products.
Pour a handful of almonds with hot water for 2 minutes and peel.
Heat sugar in a saucepan with 1 tablespoon of water to a light caramel, remove from heat, add almonds, a pinch of salt and mix.
Put the almonds on a greased plate with vegetable oil, cool and chop.
Cut bacon and mushrooms into cubes. I sliced the mushrooms and froze them.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan and fry the bacon in it until golden brown. Transfer the finished bacon to a preheated plate.
Fry mushrooms in melted fat, add salt.
With a sharp knife, cut the zest from the lemon along with the white pulp, cut the pulp into slices between the films, chop coarsely.
Pour 150 g of Mistral couscous with 250 ml of hot water or broth, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil, cover and let it brew.
After 5 minutes, loosen the grits with a fork, add salt and pepper to taste.
Mix with mushrooms, bacon, lemon, herbs.
Whisk 3 tablespoons of olive oil with lemon juice until smooth, season the salad, sprinkle with almonds in caramel and serve.
