Instructions
Step 1
In a large saucepan with 4 tbsp olive oil, sauté the onion and sweat until translucent and golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes, cover with the lid, stirring occasionally, remove from the saucepan and set aside.
Step 2
In the same saucepan, add the Moghrabieh (pearl couscous) and 6 cups of vegetable stock, cook for 15 minutes with the lid on, stirring occasionally to avoid Moghrabieh stiking to the bottom of the saucepan.
Step 3
Add 2 cans of the drained chickpeas, browned onions and the spices to the saucepan, coat everything evenly, then turn heat to medium low, cover & cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
To serve, pour Moghrabieh into a serving plate, spread 3/4 of chickpeas and the caramelized onions then pour a generous amount of sauce over it. (Add the balance of chickpeas to the sauce and serve it separately in saucer aside).
