Lemon-Mint Couscous with Grilled Zucchini
This hearty salad can be served as a vegetarian main course or side dish:
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups instant couscous
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cups boiling water
2 medium-sized zucchini, quartered and sliced
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup black olives
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1. Lightly oil a vegetable grill rack. Prepare a medium-hot fire in the grill with the rack in place.
2. Combine the couscous, salt, and boiling water in a large mixing bowl. Cover and let stand until the couscous is tender and the water is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
3. Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, combine the zucchini, oil, and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
4. Lift the zucchini out of the marinade with a slotted spoon and grill until tender, turning occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. 5. Add the grilled zucchini to the couscous, along with the feta cheese, olives, and mint. Add salt and pepper to taste. Toss to combine.
6. Serve at room temperature.

Reply:i would try making tea out of it. Or you could make an alcoholic drink called a Mint Julip..not sure how to make it though
Or you could go to allrecipes.com and type in Mint under the Ingredients search. It will give you all recipes that have mint in them. good luck.
