For an extra layer of flavor, consider toasting the couscous in a dry pan for a few minutes before adding it to the broth. This will give it a nuttier taste. Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms for added nutrients and texture. If you don't have sherry on hand, you can substitute it with dry white wine or a splash of lemon juice for a similar acidity. Adjust the amount of curry powder and cayenne pepper to suit your personal spice preference.

Follow The Directions
01
StepHeat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh dill, and crushed garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent and fragrant (approximately 5 minutes).
02
StepStir in the frozen spinach. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook until the spinach begins to wilt and release its moisture (approximately 5-10 minutes).
03
StepPour in the pale dry sherry and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, intensifying the flavors (approximately 5 minutes).
04
StepAdd the curry powder, cayenne pepper, and drained chickpeas. Pour in 1 cup of the vegetable broth and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
05
StepAdd the remaining 1 cup of vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the whole wheat couscous, and cover tightly. Let it sit until the couscous has absorbed all the liquid and is tender (approximately 5-10 minutes).
06
StepSeason with salt to taste. Serve hot, garnished with a dollop of plain yogurt, if desired.
