Mix the yogurt with a pinch of salt, a small crushed garlic clove, and some freshly ground pepper. Finely chop the chives and mix in. Chill and let it infuse well. For the peanut pesto, puree all ingredients with a hand blender, adding enough oil until the desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper to taste. For the orange vinaigrette, mix all ingredients well in a shaker or screw-top jar. Wash and dry the lettuce, and tear into bite-sized pieces if desired. Juice the orange. Place the couscous in a bowl, mix well with the orange peppercorns, orange zest, and vegetable stock powder. Pour over salted water mixed with the orange juice according to the package instructions, and let it swell. Stir the swollen couscous and season with salt. Mix the vinaigrette and lettuce well. Remove the pomegranate seeds and/or fry the diced chorizo ​​in a little oil until crispy. Serve the peanut pesto, yogurt, and salad with the couscous. Briefly drain the cooked sausage on kitchen paper. Sprinkle the chorizo ​​and/or pomegranate seeds over the couscous. It’s perfect as a main course, for example, as a summer meal, for dinner, and in small quantities, as an appetizer.
