Couscous is such a easy pasta dish to cook. Pasta? Made of durum wheat or semolina, couscous has become another welcomed dish in many countries.

What I like about couscous is the ‘instantness’ of cooking. Practically just adding boiling water and allowing it to soak to rehydrate the pasta.

Throw in some vegetables & a protein for a quick snack or meal.

Ingredients:

1 cup couscous (dried)

1 teaspoon vegetable stock (optional)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 cup chopped parsley

1/2 cup chickpeas (drained)

2 tomatoes, deseeded & chopped

few sprigs of fresh parsley

juice of 1/2 lemon

pinch of salt

Method:

• Place couscous into a dish with lid.
• Add the vegetable stock & garlic powder to the couscous.
• Add 1 1/2 cups of boiling water to the couscous, give it a stir to mix the vegetable stock & garlic powder. Cover for 5-10 minutes
• Cut the tomatoes in half, remove the seeds. Chop into chunks.
• Chop the parsley as fine as you can. You can also add chopped mint.
• Remove lid & fluff up the couscous with a fork.
• Add the tomatoes, parsley, lemon juice & salt.
• Add chickpeas to the mixture, taste & add more salt or lemon juice to your taste.
• Eat as a meal or serve as a side.
