Spiced Morroccan Chickpea Detox glow bowl

I accidentally opened a can of chickpeas, and I went on the hunt for a recipe to use them. This recipe was surprisingly easy and I will certainly make again! So often I don’t like too many starches in food so I shy away from some legume heavy dishes but the brightness of the cucumber and yogurt balanced the couscous and garbanzos in this recipe. It was no fuss, no muss, and I actually felt myself glowing! I am increasingly trying to find innovative ways to use legumes because I feel we all should try, when possible, to have a varied diet where we try and make choices with the Earth in mind.

tbls of olive oil

0.25 cup of chopped onion

Plan of Attack:

Dice the onion and garlic. Add the olive oil to your medium skillet, add the onions and cook them until aromatic. Then add the chickpeas, garlic, and salt and cook until fragrant. After the chickpeas have integrated with the spices, add the tomatoes and cook undrained for 22-23 minutes.

While the chickpeas are cooking, prepare the couscous (I used Isreali couscous cooked in chicken stock)

Chop the cucumbers, and arrange the bowl. Serve the bowl with your healthiest serving of the spice garbanzo mixture and commence glowing!
