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.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend reducing the amount of curry powder by half if you don't like spicy food.

I was really looking forward to trying this recipe, but I was disappointed. The couscous was mushy and the flavors were bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dish was very easy to make and it turned out great! I used brown rice instead of couscous and it was still delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out perfectly. However, I found it to be a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I will reduce the amount of curry powder I use.
