ingredients
2 bunches scallions
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cup couscous
directions
Trim roots from scallions. Finely chop 1 bunch of scallions, both white and green parts. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium pot with a cover, and add chopped scallions. Cook over medium heat until scallions are soft and translucent. Do not let them brown.
Add couscous and stir over medium heat for 1 minute. Add 3 cups boiling water and stir over low heat for 3 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes, until water is absorbed.
Meanwhile, melt remaining butter in a small saucepan. Lightly brush remaining bunch of scallions with butter.
Heat a cast-iron grill pan until very hot. Add scallions and cook, turning several times, until they begin to soften and grill marks are emblazoned on the greens. This will take several minutes.
Remove cover from couscous mixture. Fluff with a fork, and add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Place on a warm platter, or pack into timbales and turn out on individual plates. Top with grilled scallions.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

We would have preferred cooking the chopped scallions in salted butter (rather than the unsalted) for more flavor. The couscous was very light and fluffy and the cooking times seemed about right. The grilled scallions were a nice touch presentation-wise. If you don't have a grill pan you could most certainly cook the whole scallions on a regular grill.
