- Put the currants, orange juice, lemon juice, 1/3 c. oil, cinnamon, salt, and cayenne in a jar. Cover with the lid and shake till the ingredients are well mixed.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the water and 1 Tbsp. oil to a boil. Stir in the couscous. Immediately remove from the heat, cover, and let stand till the water is absorbed, about 6 min. Transfer the couscous to a large bowl, and fluff with a fork. Cold completely.
- Put 1 inch of water in a large saucepan with a steamer basket, cover with the lid, and bring to a gentle boil. Put the carrot, green beans, and bell pepper in the steamer basket, cover with the steamer (lid K.M.), and steam till the vegetables are a bright color, about 3 min. Remove the steamed vegetables from the basket; they should still have a crunch. Rinse under cool water, drain, and cold completely.
- Stir the steamed vegetables, onion, and mint into the couscous. Shake the Spicy Currant Dressing and pour it over the salad. Stir till well coated.
- Chill for at least 30 min to allow the flavors to blend. Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the top just before serving and serve chilled. (If the salad is prepared more than a few hrs ahead, adjust the seasonings before serving.)
