Chickpea tagine with couscous with prunes
*Recipe adapted from Dec 2011 Vegetarian Times magazine.

Ingredients:
olive oil
1 onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (15oz) can crushed tomatoes
3 cups cooked chickpeas
prunes (quartered) for couscous
fresh cilantro leaves as garnish

Instructions:
Heat oil in saucepan, add onion, and saute until onion is soft and translucent. Stir in spices and saute 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, chickpeas, and 1/4 cup water, simmer 10 mins. Serve over couscous (recipe below) and sprinkle cilantro leaves on top.
*This would be even better with some okra in it! Definitely doing that next time.
