Chickpea, Spinach And Tomato

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I also chose to omit the vegetable bouillon. I added a sweet potato I had peeled, cut into bite size pieces, and steamed. I also doubled the amount of spices to compensate for the addition of the sweet potato. The dish was wonderful, very flavorful and filling. A great dinner to make when pressed for time.

    Chickpea, Spinach and Tomato Couscous, I adapted pinkcherryblossom’s great recipe for spinach and chickpea curry to make this tasty vegetarian couscous I changed the combination of spices a bit and substituted canned tomatoes for fresh ones It’s very flavorful and filling but light at the same time use Near East couscous mix for the grain: it’s ready in 5 minutes as opposed to real couscous which is very long to make If you don’t use spinach in the recipe, you might want to add a little water in step 3 You may also add other vegetables, such as carrot, squash, eggplant or potatoes Boil or steam them aldente separately and add them in step 3 This makes a perfect vegetarian entree that you can serve along with a mediteranean salad (tomato and cucumber with olive oil and lemon dressing) or simply by itself , I also chose to omit the vegetable bouillon I added a sweet potato I had peeled, cut into bite size pieces, and steamed I also doubled the amount of spices to compensate for the addition of the sweet potato The dish was wonderful, very flavorful and filling A great dinner to make when pressed for time

    i, Yummy vegetarian dish Our only complaint was that the water content of the spinach really dulled the spices To make the flavours a bit more bold I added two tablespoons of curry paste during the last five minutes of cooking Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Fall 2009
