INSTRUCTIONS
In 3-quart nonstick saucepan, heat oil; add onions, carrots, celery, and zucchini and cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until onions are lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add 1 3/4 cups water, the chick-peas, currants, vegetable broth mix, paprika/substitute, cumin, and pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer until carrot is tender, about 10 minutes. Remove 1/2 cup of broth from chick-pea mixture and pour into small saucepan. Cook broth over high heat until mixture comes to a boil; stir in couscous. Cover saucepan and remove from heat. Let stand for 5 minutes. To serve, on serving platter arrange couscous; top with chick-pea mixture. NOTES : Entered to MasterCook by Ellen in Toronto, Canada. the vegetable broth is listed in weight watchers as 1 packet instant vegetable broth and seasoning mix. I will have to find a non-allergy substitute. For couscous, I will use President's Choice whole wheat couscous, measured dry from the package.
