Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped
½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
3 cloves garlic, crushed
12 ounces chopped frozen spinach
1 tablespoon pale dry sherry
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup whole wheat couscous
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, sun-dried tomato, dill, and garlic; cook and stir until onions start to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in spinach, increase heat to medium high, and cook until spinach begins to wilt, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Pour in sherry and cook until most liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add curry powder, cayenne pepper, chickpeas, and 1 cup of the vegetable broth; cook for about 5 minutes. Add remaining broth and bring mixture to a boil. Remove from heat, stir in couscous, and cover until couscous absorbs all the liquid, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt.

CHICKPEA, SPINACH AND TOMATO COUSCOUS



Chickpea, Spinach and Tomato Couscous image

I adapted pinkcherryblossom's great recipe for spinach and chickpea curry to make this tasty vegetarian couscous. I changed the combination of spices a bit and substituted canned tomatoes for fresh ones. It's very flavorful and filling but light at the same time. I use Near East couscous mix for the grain: it's ready in 5 minutes as opposed to real couscous which is very long to make. If you don't use spinach in the recipe, you might want to add a little water in step 3. You may also add other vegetables, such as carrot, squash, eggplant or potatoes. Boil or steam them aldente separately and add them in step 3. This makes a perfect vegetarian entree that you can serve along with a mediteranean salad (tomato and cucumber with olive oil and lemon dressing) or simply by itself.

CURRIED COUSCOUS WITH CHICKPEAS



Curried Couscous With Chickpeas image

This makes a great lunch or snack and is low-fat. Great for bringing to work or school and can be eaten hot or cold. I like it with Braggs sprinkled on top (but I'm known to add braggs to any rice or couscous dish for extra flavour!). Could also add some cooked chicken to make a main dish, maybe with a side green salad or additional steamed veggies.

SPICY SPINACH AND CHICKPEA CURRY SOUP WITH COUSCOUS



Spicy Spinach and Chickpea Curry Soup With Couscous image

I created this recipe as a healthy, low fat meal for my vegetarian husband and I. Not only does the spinach and chickpeas provide vital vitamins and minerals, the chickpeas are good source of veggie protein. Serving this over a bed of couscous makes this a complete Moroccan dish. You can substitute the pre-packaged couscous if you like, though I prefer to buy it in the bulk containers and measure out the amount I want to use. This would be delicious with a dollop of light plain yogurt on top to temper the spice. Enjoy!
