A salad recipe I enjoy calls for Toasted Israeli Couscous. My local Whole Foods (14th & P) doesn't have it.
The recipe describes it as a pasta with "grains" larger that real couscous.
Any idea where I can find it?
Thanks.

You toast them yourself in a pan with a little olive oil. Set the heat to medium, add 1-2 tbsp. of olive oil. Add the Israeli couscous and allow the pasta to toast, shaking the pan often.
Oh, unless you mean where to find Israeli cous cous. I think TJ's carries it.
eta: come to think of it, I don't see why you couldn't substitute acini de pepe. Even my local Safeway carries it. Toasting it would impart the nuttiness that Israeli couscous has.

I would check another Fresh Fields; before they did away with the bulk bins (at the Tenlytown location) there was a ready supply. I have also seen Israeli couscous at Safeway.

The Safeway on Columbia Road carries this ( ohmy.gif ). Yes, I was surprised to find something "unusual" that was an ingredient for some recipe I wanted to try. It's in the "ethnic" section.

I've gotten Israeli couscous in the kosher section in Giant as well.
