Ingredients
- 45 oz canned chickpeas
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/4 cup couscous
- 4 tbsp tahini
- 2 lemon
- 2 clove garlic
- 1 cucumber
- 10 oz cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley(optional)
Method
Heat the oven to 425F. Drain and dry the chickpeas well.
Toss them with 3 tbsp olive oil, the cumin, paprika, garlic powder and salt and spread on a sheet pan.
Roast 28 to 30 minutes, shaking once, until crisp at the edges.
Make the couscous with boiling salted water, cover 5 minutes and fluff with the remaining oil.
Whisk the tahini with the juice of both lemons, the minced garlic, a pinch of salt and enough cold water to make a pourable sauce.
Build bowls of couscous, chickpeas, chopped cucumber and halved tomatoes, then spoon the tahini over and top with parsley.
