INSTRUCTIONS
Sort and rinse the chickpeas, then soak overnight in water. Drain and cook
in 5 cups water until tender, about 2 to 3 hours. Drain, reserving the
broth, and set aside. If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse, set aside
Warm a cup of the check-pea broth or vegetable broth in a skillet or soup
pot and add the onion, garlic, and the dried spices. Simmer gently until
the onions have begun to soften, about 7 minutes. Don't let the pan dry out
or the spices will burn. Add more liquid as needed.
Once the onions are soft, add the remaining vegetables the juice from the
tomatoes, and the chopped tomatoes, the raisins, the parsley and cilantro.
Add the honey and enough chick-pea broth or vegetable broth to cover, bring
to a boil, then simmer until the vegetables are done and the liquid has
reduced, making a nice sauce. Add the green peas during the last 5 minutes.
Make the couscous and serve with the vegetables and their sauce. Garnish
with cilantro or parsley.
