Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 40 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Moroccan
Ingredients: 1 cup couscous; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 onion, diced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 1 teaspoon ground coriander; 1 teaspoon paprika; 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed; 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes; 2 cups vegetable broth; Salt and pepper, to taste; Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, and ground cinnamon to the saucepan. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional minute to release the aromas of the spices.
Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas to the saucepan, stirring to coat them in the spice mixture. Allow the chickpeas to cook for 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Pour in the can of diced tomatoes and vegetable broth, stirring to combine all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the stew to thicken slightly.
While the stew is simmering, prepare the couscous according to the package instructions. Fluff the cooked couscous with a fork to separate the grains.
Season the spiced chickpea stew with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
To serve, spoon a generous portion of the spiced chickpea stew over a bed of fluffy couscous. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
