Cous Cous Salad with Garlic Yoghurt Sauce

This was sent in by mb. Who says "Are you ready for a taste sensation? "

One peach (yes, you heard me)
Handful of dried apricots, chopped
Handful of fresh mint
Three shallots, finely chopped
One cob of corn (microwave for 4 minutes and slice kernels off)
Handful of walnuts or pecans
One chopped tomato
One chopped capsicum/pepper
The most delicious option EVER! Half a smoked chicken. Take the skin off and break into pieces.
250 g cous cous
Hot water

Chop everything.
Shred the chicken and try not to eat it all before serving.
Smoked chicken is expensive so always make sure you get two meals out of it. If we can show restraint, then you can too.
The secret to cous cous is its combination of fresh and dried fruit, nuts and fresh herbs (and the smoked chicken).
In a separate bowl, pour dry cous cous. Boil the jug. Cover the cous cous with water, leaving an additional half a centremetre over the top). Stir through with a fork and then WALK AWAY.
After 2 - 3 minutes, COME BACK. Stir through again with fork and taste. If still crunchy, add about 50 ml of hot water, stir through and leave for one minute. It is very easy to drown cous cous. It is much better to add a little bit of hot water at a time. Remember the golden rules: you can always add more but you can't take out.
When the cous cous is done (it will be moist, not crunchy). Stir everything together and serve with either yoghurt sauce.
