    Mmmmmm - two of my faves - chickpeas and couscous!!!! Ella loves them too

    One different thing to do with couscous is use it instead of bread crumbs over strips of chicken. Roll strips in flour, whisked egg then in cooled cooked couscous. Refridgerate before frying. Serve with lemon wedges, salsa and guacamole!

    I also make a couscous and chickpea dish. It has thinly sliced capsicum, red onion, garlic, roasted sweet potato cubes, grated lemon rind, squeeze of lemon juice, boiled chickpeas, couscous cooked in vegetable stock, pistachios, chilli (optional)...and if needed cubes or strips of lightly fried chicken seasoned with morrocan spice.
    I also use this recipe (minus the chicken pieces) as a stuffing inside roast chicken. Once chicken is cooked pull out and serve as a side!
