Moroccan Chickpea and Vegetable Stew with Couscous

"This is delicious stew. Very flavorful from the spices, but not too spicy, just right. There is no meat in it, and you most likely won't miss it, as the chickpeas are very "meaty" themselves. But I don't see why you couldn't add some meat if you really wanted to. It also goes from prep to table in about 30 minutes, great for weeknight dinners. From Cooking Light."

  1. Oh, AND I left out the raisins...it's personal taste. I prefer savoury.
     
  2. This is very good! Not as juicy as I expected, but still very good. I added a pinch of cayenne and about 1 Tbs f/f feta to each serving. Using whole wheat couscous, this is 7 WW pts/serving, and a dish that works with the "Simply Filling Technique" (old Core program). A fabulous keeper! Thanks for sharing.
     
  3. Liked this very much, and it froze well too!
     
  4. This made a nice, filling, healthy stew that was perfect for the bone-chilling weather we have been having. Preparation was easy enough--just a few things to chop. The fragrance was wonderful but the flavor from the seasoning was surprisingly subtle. If I make this again, I will probably play around with the seasoning amounts. This provided an easy, painless way to get veggies in our diet. Thanks for posting.
     
  5. I really wanted to like this, but it ended up being un-exciting. I left out the raisins due to personal preference, and I used an entire can of chicken broth, and I upped the spices slightly to compensate, but it maybe wasn't enough. The end product had a lovely texture and fragrance, but served over couscous, it just didn't have the spicy flavor I'd expected.
