Curried Couscous With Chickpeas

"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."

  1. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! Such a balanced, healthy meal with so much flavor. A new favorite, for sure.
     
  2. Absolutely DELISH! We loved all the veggies and chick peas! The only thing I might change next time (and there will be a next time) is to add about 1/2 tsp more curry. We felt it could have used just a little more. I served this with Honey Roasted Pork Loin (#29493) and they were perfect together! Thanks for posting Babzy! UPDATE: This makes way more than 4 servings - for DH and myself I cut the recipe in half and we get 4 servings out of that.
     
  3. I used two cans of chickpeas instead of using the peas, because I don't like peas... and I didn't use tomatoes, because my guy is allergic. It was really good and hearty, even with those substitutions. It was also really fast and easy. I'd definitely recommend it. :)

  1. Good recipe. I added lots more curry powder and cumin and a little bit of coriander but my best addition was some sour cream and lime sauce! Such a quick and easy recipe and a definite crowd pleaser.
