Categories     Onions

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
1 (19 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed well
1 cup couscous
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dried apricot, sliced
2 cups orange juice
1 lemon, zest and juice
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup almonds (sliced or slivered)
1 handful chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Splash the olive oil into a small saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and spices. Sauté for a few minutes until everything is heated through and your kitchen smells fragrant.
  • Add the chickpeas, couscous, raisins, apricots, orange juice, lemon zest and juice, and salt and pepper. Bring everything to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low, just enough to maintain the simmer. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and continue cooking until the couscous is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 15 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and let the couscous rest for another 5 minutes or so before serving. Using a fork to help fluff up the couscous, transfer it into a serving bowl and sprinkle with the almonds and cilantro.
