-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 large sweet onion -- chopped

1 cup shredded carrots

14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes -- (1 can), with jalapenos or Spicy V8

15 ounces chickpeas, canned -- rinsed and drained or home cooked

1/4 cup raisins -- or currants, brown or golden

3 cloves garlic -- minced

1 teaspoon cumin -- dried and ground

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon -- dried and ground

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg -- dried and ground

1/2 teaspoon turmeric -- dried and ground

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes -- or cayenne

1 1/2 cups cooked couscous

1 cup chopped green onion -- for garnish (optional)

 

Combine all ingredients except couscous in crock pot. Mix thoroughly.

Cover and cook on low 8 to 10 hours (high 3 to 4 hours).

Add cooked couscous during last 15 minutes of cooking.

 

 

Serve 8 as a side dish, or 4 as a main dish

 

 

ChupaNote: I also like to add 1/2 cup of chopped black olives and 1/4 cup

pickled jalapenos, rinsed and drained. If you don't like spicy food, cut the red

pepper to 1/8 teaspoon, the turmeric to 1/4 teaspoon, and the garlic to 1 clove.

Serve with a salad of shredded red cabbage and mandarin oranges to cut the heat,

with a side of cucumbers and yogurt, and pita bread to soak up the juice from

the chickpea stew.
