Couscous And Chickpea Salad

Most defiantly one of the simplest yet tastiest recipes I make, this delicious couscous salad its perfect for lunch or as a side dish to your main meal. I like to add two greem chillies in mine to give it that kick, but you can omit one, the choice is yours.

Ingredients:

• 2/3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion 
• 2 green chillies
• 1 cup of dried couscous
• 1 tin of chickpeas
• pinch of mixed curry powder 
• pinch of turmeric
• Salt to taste

Garnish: 

• Handful fresh  finely chopped coriander
• Tomatoes 
• Cucumber

Method:

• Chop the onion finely and fry it in the pan with the spices and green chilli
• Once the onions start to soften slightly add in the chickpeas, cover the pan and saute gently so enable the chickpeas to soften in the steam and oil.
• Cook the couscous per pack instructions
• Add the cooked couscous to the chickpeas mix and stir through
• Allow to cool and mix in the salt and garnish with the coriander

Enjoy
