Curried Couscous with Tomatoes and Chickpeas
This is a recipe in Rose Reisman's "Light Vegetarian Cooking" 1998. There are several excellent recipes in this addition, and my wife Lynn says this is the best couscous dish. Rose notes that this is a "great source of nutrition for vegetarians. Coriander can be replaced by basil, dill or parsley. (can) also use quinoa." I doubled the chopped garlic; and mixed in chopped and cooked baby Bok Choy. You can prepare two days in advance -- reheat gentally.
