We both really enjoyed this. I served it as a side to lamb chops and decided the 2 cups of liquid in the spinach mix looked too much, so reduced that to just one-I think it was perfect. IOur lamb chops were mint flavoured and the couscous curryish, so I made a yogurt and mint sauce to go over all. That was also good-otherwise I think a good squeeze of lemon would be good over it.

I thought this was really good, I made as written and the spinach and chickpeas part of it was almost like a soup which I wasn't expecting but I thought it was good. I stored the leftover couscous and spinach mixture together and the couscous soaked up a lot of the liquid. Easy, healthy and tasty recipe. Thanks!
