1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
¹⁄₂ teaspoon cumin seed
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 (19 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed
1 tomatoes, diced
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons honey
1 cup water

directions

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds and stir until they begin to pop, about 1 minute. Add ginger and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add curry powder and stir until it is toasted, about 30 seconds longer. Add chickpeas, tomato, honey, water, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil.
Stir in couscous; remove from heat and cover. Let stand until the liquid has been absorbed, about 5 minutes. With a fork, fluff the couscous and stir in cilantro (or parsley).
