Last night, I persuaded my omnivorous boyfriend to make a recipe I'd been wanting to try. I brought all of the ingredients over to his place and he made it for me. Just like that. According to him, "it was damn easy to make." He added some hot peppers to the pan at some point; if you like spicy food, I'd recommend this addition. I love the flavors of Moroccan cooking and I'll definitely eat this again.
I wonder what he'll make me tonight!
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 large onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 15oz. can crushed tomatoes
3 cups cooked chickpeas or 2 15oz. cans chickpeas, rinsed
1 cup whole wheat couscous
1/4 cup. lemon juice
/12 cup chopped cilantro
1. Heat oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, and cook until they start to brown, stirring often. Stir in garlic, cumin, coriander, ginger, and cinnamon, and saute 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, chickpeas, and 1/4cup water; simmer 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, toast couscous in small saucepan over medium heat 5 minutes, or until fragrant. Add 1 3/4 cups water, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 5 minutes.
3. Stir dates and lemon juice into tagine, and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Serve over couscous, sprinkled with cilantro.
