1 small carrot, finely chopped |
1/4 cup water |
2 tablespoons sherry wine |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 teaspoon allspice |
1/8 teaspoon ground mace |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Bring the broth to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in couscous, cover, and remove from heat.
2. After five minutes, fluff couscous with a fork, cover again, and set aside.
3. Combine chickpeas, vegetables, water, and sherry in a frying pan.
4. Cover and cook 10 minutes over medium heat.
