Salento-style Friscous

As explained above, pour the friscous into a bowl, moisten it with two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and mix very well. Add water; to add flavor I also put in a little orange juice.

Wash and dice the cherry tomatoes and cucumber, add the toasted almonds, well-washed raisins, desalted capers, the caroselle which you will have drained and also the thinly sliced sun-dried tomatoes.

Taste and add salt and pepper if needed, mix very well again to flavor, and let it rest a little. At the last minute, if you want even more crunchiness, add another handful of Friscous.
