Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 medium red onion (diced)
  • 1 large bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 medium carrot (diced)
  • 2 large garlic cloves (minced)
  • 15 ounces chickpeas (canned, drained and rinsed)
  • 1 cup Moroccan couscous
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 3/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • 5 Peppadew piquanté peppers (jarred, chopped or 1/4 cup golden raisins)
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley (plus more for garnish)
  • 1 small lemon (zest and juice, or to taste)
  • 2 small avocados (chopped)
  • Vegan sour cream

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a medium-large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion, bell pepper, and carrot; cook for about 5 minutes until tender. Stir in minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds.
  2. Add spices (paprika, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne pepper) along with salt and black pepper; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Mix in chickpeas and chopped Peppadew peppers; cook for another minute.
  4. Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat after about a minute. Stir in couscous and parsley; flatten the mixture so the couscous is submerged in liquid.
  5. Let sit for about 5 minutes to absorb the liquid. Fluff with a fork and season with lemon zest and juice before serving warm.
