Curried Couscous with Spinach and Chickpeas
A quick, filling vegetarian meal. The vegetable broth makes it heartier than some couscous recipes. Serve with plain yogurt.

A very decent dish with a few personally motivated modifications. I omitted the sun dried tomatoes and dill because I'm not a fan of either and secondly I thought they (the sun dried tomatoes) might taste odd with the other ingredients. Instead I used what I had in the fridge which was a red bell pepper and two small tomatillos (which added a great tartness to the dish) It turned out very well with all of the other ingredients and to finish I mixed in a dollop of Greek yogurt to add a little acidic creaminess and make it almost korma like. Very tasty.

Excellent recipe; it was very filling and flavourful and my b-f loved it. Will definitely make again.
I'm writing this directly after making and eating this dish for the first time. It is a very filling and hearty meal, which is something I look for when I cook vegetarian. -- I cooked it with golden couscous instead of whole wheat, omitted sun-dried tomatoes, and added about a 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes to it later in the process. Everything about this dish was good & I will likely consider making it on a monthly basis. The only thing I may consider altering further is adding a bit more veggie broth. The final product I made wasn't too dry but it could've been a little wetter.

My vegetarian daughter loved it and so did everyone else! The only substitution was roasted grape tomatoes instead of sun-dried, and I also added some toasted pine nuts. Really delicious!
I used less olive oil--just drizzled to my liking and used 2 large English cucumbers, seeded. Other than the tedious peeling and chopping of the fresh garlic, it was pretty quick. Next time I will just use my garlic press to speed things up.
Very tasty! I omitted the dill and sun dried tomatoes. I added chopped par-boiled carrots and used chopped spring mix salad instead of the spinach. Also added a bit of garam masala. I will definitely make this again.
Delicious. I'm neither vegan nor vegetarian, so I threw in a chopped up chicken breast and made the couscous with chicken broth, not veggie. No chickpeas on hand and used fresh spinach instead of frozen. Will definitely make again.
Skipped the chickpeas, tossed in some chopped dates, added cumin. Very nice recipe!
I made this as is and it was awesome. Omitting the sundries tomatoes and dill means you are making a different recipe. It was delicious just the way it called for. I used fresh spinach instead of previously frozen. If I had goat cheese in my fridge I would sprinkle that on top after dishing it up.
Amazing! I didn't know what to expect at it was one of the most scrumptious, filling, and "light" meals on this site. The sun dried tomatoes really are a must. Didn't have the cayenne pepper and didn't add salt, and I used fresh spinach instead of frozen, but otherwise followed the recipe. Made plenty...probably slightly more than 4 servings.
Excellent recipe! Based on suggestions and supplies, I left out the tomato and dill and used fresh spinach. Everyone really liked it and I was firmly told to make it again!
I thought the recipe was really nutritious. I would probably add some mushrooms next time and serve it with yoghurt.
This inspired me to change it up to my fav's. Changes fresh tomatoes, red pepper flakes, parsley and chicken stock from a bird i cooked. (no cayanne peppers, no sun dries tomatoes, left out the curry and sherry, and dill.)
This is an excellent vegan recipe! I followed the directions exactly with one exception: I used the olive oil from the sundried tomato jar. I don't usually like Curry, but I love it in this recipe!!! Thank you for sharing!
Really enjoyed this recipe and will make again!! I didn't have the sun dried tomatoes or dill, and used thyme instead. Still came out delicious!
I substituted the tomatoes with raisins and also left out the dill. A great quick, healthy, and delicious recipe.
This turned out fantastic, with a couple of last-minute subs based on what was in my kitchen. Substitutions: • Sun-Dried Tomatoes: 1/4C Arriabata sauce (any spicy pasta sauce would work) • Sherry: Merlot • Curry powder: Curry paste • A bit more Cayenne
I liked this recipe, easy to make and yummy. I didn't have sherry, tomatoes or dill so I just left those out and it was good!
Easy, tasty, and all kinds of substitutions/omissions are fine! I didn't have sun-drieds, dill or curry, so I used cumin and cherry tomatoes. I also put in carrots. It tastes great. I was going to add feta, but mine was spoiled. I think it would have tasted awesome, though. I don't enjoy cooking, but this was worth it!
This is sooo good! The only changes I made were using chicken broth, lots of fresh spinach and sprinkled feta on top before serving. Will be making this often!
I made this recipe as directed. The couscous ended up being a little dry so I added half a cup more vegetable broth. It turned out delicious. I don't think I will use sundried tomatoes next time but I might add some chopped peppers and halved cherry tomatoes instead. As a base recipe, this one is a keeper.
My family loves this recipe! I’ve made it twice in 10 days. Followed the modifications others recommended and it turned out great. My 12 year old asks for it!
I love sundried tomatoes, but somehow their flavor didn't mix with the curry in my opinion. I also noted my guests did rave about it as they usually do my dishes. Hmmmmm, don't know how to tweak it. Probably won't make it again.
I wanted to give this 5***** but I just couldn't. It was horribly bland to me. It needs something to spice it up. I would put in 1.5 tbs of curry and maybe some cumin. all I tasted was the veggie broth and spinach. This has amazing potential but it just needs some help.
