This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Remove the pan from the heat and add the raisins, zucchini, carrots and green onions. Fold gently to combine. Cover pot and let stand for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile whisk together the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Drizzle the mixture over the couscous and toss well.

Um, this was gross. The tumeric/ginger/cumin/cinnamon combo went well with the raisins, and the carrots and zucchini went well with the lemon dressing -- but the whole thing together? Not a good match.
