Camel's Couscous

an incredible dish from the distant lands of morocco! our childhood friend ciara was the inspiration for tonight's meal. after she talked about her mother maeve's wonderous moroccan couscous dish, we knew we had to try it out for ourselves! and oh how our tongues rejoiced!



serves 6 hardy portions

ingredients:
you will need couscous for 6 people!
&
3 veggie stock cubes in some water
1 large red onion
4 cloves medium-sized garlic
1 red capsicum
1 small carrot
1 tomato
handful raisins
2 cans chickpeas
generous sprinkle of pepper
1 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp cinnamon
juice of half a lemon

directions:
1. heat up stock & saute onion and garlic (both finely chopped) for 5 minutes
2. dice the rest of your veggies, except carrot, which is lovely grated! add to onion mix
3. add in couscous, pouring in water accordingly so this super grain can absorb the liquid!
4. toss in your raisins and all your superb flavourings from the spices and lemon juice
5. cook together until couscous in fully softened

indulge in the warm and spiced flavours of this dish!
we served with a side of hummus & hot sauce
