Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder, preferably Madras
  • 1 15-ounce or 19-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 1 cup whole-wheat couscous
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley

Cooking Instructions

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds and stir until they begin to pop, about 1 minute. Add ginger and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add curry powder and stir until it is toasted, about 30 seconds longer. Add chickpeas, tomatoes, honey, water, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Stir in couscous; remove from the heat and cover. Let stand until the liquid has been absorbed, about 5 minutes. With a fork, fluff the couscous and stir in cilantro (or parsley).
