Cook this recipe
- baby spinach-5 cups
- grape tomatoes-2 cups
- canned chickpeas-1 can
- plain couscous-1.5 cups
- low-sodium vegetable broth-1.5 cups
- lemon-1 each
- extra-virgin olive oil-2 tbsp
- garlic powder-1 tsp
- ground cumin-0.5 tsp
- fine sea salt-0.5 tsp
- black pepper-0.25 tsp
Zest the lemon, then juice it. Set the zest and juice aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Keep the saucepan handle turned inward while cooking.
Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, halved grape tomatoes, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until the tomatoes begin to soften.
Add the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil.
Stir in the couscous, cover the pan, turn off the heat, and let stand for 5 minutes.
Use caution when lifting or adjusting the lid, as hot steam can escape quickly.
Fluff the couscous with a fork.
Stir in the baby spinach, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Cover for 2 minutes, then stir again until the spinach is lightly wilted.
Open the lid away from your face and hands to avoid hot steam.
Divide into 4 bowls and serve warm.
