Couscous With Garbanzo Beans and Golden Raisins
"Searched ALL 497 recipes, but did not find THIS one !! It came from a very old Bon Appetit, and the addition of cinnamon, lemon peel, and golden raisins give a Mediteranean flair. It is quick, easy, and makes a different side, if you are tired of potatoes and/or rice."

We had this with fish coated in a rather lemony chermoula, and a Lebanese eggplant salad (also very lemony) the sultanas and cinnamon were a perfect sweet balance for the other two dishes. I'll be making this again as it was so simple and s tasty. I did add a teaspoon of chicken stock powder to the water.

I scaled back for 3 serves and still had a serve left over which the DM has claimed for lunch (I'll add a little diced fresh pineapple I have left over and some diced roast pork to round it off for her) and I did used sultanas instead of golden raisins. Thank you NurseJaney made for I Recommend tag and game and recommended by Boomette.
