Ingredients

  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1 1/4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
  • Optional: yogurt for serving

Preparation

  • 1.

    In a saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

  • 2.

    While the couscous is resting, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chickpeas and sauté for about 5 minutes until slightly crispy.

  • 3.

    Sprinkle cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, salt, and pepper over the chickpeas. Stir well to coat and cook for another 2 minutes.

  • 4.

    Add fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

  • 5.

    Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle with fresh lemon juice.

  • 6.

    To serve, place a generous amount of fluffy couscous in a bowl. Top with the spiced chickpeas and spinach mixture. Garnish with chopped parsley and, if desired, a dollop of yogurt.
