Chickpea & Couscous Mediterranean Bowl
- 1 can chickpeas, drained & rinsed
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 1/2 bell pepper, diced
- 1 small squash, diced
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tsp marjoram
- 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 2 small cucumbers, diced
- 1 cup couscous
- 1 1/2 vegetable broth
- Optional toppings: chopped parsley, tahini sauce
Directions
- Prepare the onion, pepper, and squash. Chop up the cucumber and set aside in a small bowl.
- Lay the beets and tomatoes out onto a baking tray.
- In a large skillet, set heat to medium.
- Once hot, add the olive oil and sauté the onions for about 5 minutes.
- Then, add the squash and pepper and continue to stir for another 5-7 minutes.
- Add the chickpeas and seasonings, stir for another 2-3 minutes before adding the red wine vinegar.
- Cook the vegetables until lightly tender and then remove from heat.
- In a separate medium pot, add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, add the couscous and stir together for 5-7 minutes.
- Set heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes. The couscous will absorb the liquid quickly, so stir occasionally and add more broth or water as needed.
- Serve the chickpeas and vegetables with the couscous and cucumber, top with tahini and parsley if desired, and enjoy!
