Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (10 ounce) box couscous
1/2 cup pine nuts
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed
1/2 cup raisins (dark or golden)
2 bunches swiss chard, stems trimmed
1 dash salt
1 teaspoon onion powder

Steps:

  • Place the couscous in a bowl. Add 1 ½ cups boiling water and stir. Cover tightly and let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, over low heat, toast the pine nuts, shaking the pan frequently, until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Return the skillet to medium heat, add the oil, and heat for 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the chickpeas, raisins, chard, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chard is tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Fluff the couscous with a fork and divide among individual plates. Top with the chard and sprinkle with the pine nuts.
