Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 large rainbow carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 medium yellow onion, cut into 6 wedges, root end kept intact
1 cinnamon stick, snapped in half
1/3 cup golden raisins
1 tablespoon chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, such as Do Good Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
One 15 1/2-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
12 ounces assorted color cherry tomatoes
1 large zucchini, quartered lengthwise and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups couscous
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
1/2 cup parsley leaves, roughly chopped
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup salted shelled pistachios, crushed
1/4 cup golden raisins
Harissa and plain yogurt, for serving

Steps:

  • For the chicken stew: Put the garlic, carrots, onion, cinnamon, raisins, ginger, cumin, paprika, sugar, turmeric, 1 tablespoon salt and several grinds of black pepper in a large saucepan or Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid. Add 2 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat; cover, reduce the heat and simmer until the carrots start to get tender, about 15 minutes. Add the chicken, chickpeas, tomatoes and zucchini and stir to combine. Return to a boil over high heat, cover, reduce the heat and simmer until the stew is slightly thickened and fragrant and the vegetables are tender enough to cut with the side of a fork, but still hold their shapes, about 15 minutes. (If the vegetables are fork-tender a bit sooner, remove them to a bowl while the liquid reduces then return them to the pot when ready to serve.) Remove and discard the cinnamon sticks.
  • For the couscous: Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil with the butter and salt in a small saucepan. Stir in the couscous, remove from the heat, cover and set aside until the water has been absorbed and the couscous is plump, about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
  • For the topping: Combine the cilantro, parsley, almonds, pistachios and raisins in a medium bowl.
  • To serve, divide the couscous among bowls, top with the stew and sprinkle with the herb topping. Serve with harissa and yogurt on the side.

MOROCCAN CHICKPEA AND VEGETABLE STEW WITH COUSCOUS



Moroccan Chickpea and Vegetable Stew with Couscous image

This is delicious stew. Very flavorful from the spices, but not too spicy, just right. There is no meat in it, and you most likely won't miss it, as the chickpeas are very "meaty" themselves. But I don't see why you couldn't add some meat if you really wanted to. It also goes from prep to table in about 30 minutes, great for weeknight dinners. From Cooking Light.
