Description

Creamy dairy free turmeric couscous and chickpeas!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 shallot, diced
  • 34 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 cup (uncooked) pearled couscous
  • 1 + 1/2 cups low sodium broth
  • 1 cup canned full fat coconut milk
  • 1 jar (or can) of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup packed baby spinach, chopped
  • 1/3 cup diced green onion
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil, shallot, and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the couscous.
  2. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Cover and reduce to a low simmer for 5-7 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed. If cous cous is sticking to the bottom at all, add an extra splash of broth.
  3. Stir in coconut milk, chickpeas, spinach, green onions, and turmeric. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer again and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. If desired, add more broth to reach preferred consistency/creaminess. Serve and enjoy!
