Each of the three grain combinations can be formed using timbales or other
molds, or by the quenelle method using two large tablespoons.

COUSCOUS, RICE AND QUINOA: Heat all couscous ingredients in a double
boiler until warmed through. Pack mixture into 6 small timbale molds (or
scoop mixture in a tablespoon, round a second tablespoon over the mixture
and press spoons together). Unmold mixture and set aside.

Repeat procedure with basmati rice ingredients; set aside.

Repeat with quinoa ingredients; set aside.

COULIS: Grill, broil or roast corn in their husks for 10 to 12 minutes,
until corn is cooked. Discard husks and remove kernels from cobs. In a
food processor blend kernels with enough water to produce a sauce. Pass
mixture through a fine strainer, and season the liquid with salt and
pepper.

TO SERVE: Pour coulis on 6 plates and place one serving of each grain on
each plate. Garnish couscous with fried sage leaves; garnish basmati rice
with fried zucchini.

NOTES: To make tomato concasse, peel, seed and dice tomatoes and toss with
olive oil, salt and pepper.

To make shiitake duxelles, finely mince mushrooms and saute in oil with a
pinch of minced shallot or onion.

To fry sage leaves and zucchini for the garnishes, heat 3/4 inch of oil in
a pan to 350 F (a drop of water should ripple and pop on surface of the
oil); fry sage leaves for 1 minute, remove to a paper towel and
drain. Repeat with finely julienned zucchini, frying just until golden.
