Chickpea And Vegetable Couscous
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 carrots, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 fennel bulb, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
- 1 zucchini, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 yellow summer squash, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 plum tomatoes, cut into large chunks
- 1 cup canned chickpeas
- 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup whole-wheat couscous
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- Combine the spices (coriander through cayenne pepper) and set aside. In a large skillet, heat olive oil at medium-high. Saute carrots and bell pepper for about 5 minutes, or until slightly soft. Add fennel, zucchini, squash, tomatoes, chickpeas, and spices. Cook for 5 more minutes.
- Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer; cover and cook for 15 minutes until all the vegetables are tender.
- In a small saucepan, bring 1 1/4 cups of water to a boil. Add couscous, stir, and remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Place couscous in a serving dish and top with vegetables and broth. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.
- Tips:
- No time to go to the store? You can substitute brown rice for the couscous or kidney beans for the chickpeas.
- For extra crunch, top with 2 tablespoons of toasted pumpkin seeds
