Instructions

Combine 1 cup water with a little salt and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a pan and place over the heat. Just before the water comes to a boil, add the cup of couscous, and turn off the heat. Let stand until the couscous absorbs the liquid.

Drain the canned chickpeas and rinse under running water.

Cut the onion and green bell pepper into strips.

Wash and grate the tomato.

Heat a little olive oil in a large skillet and add the onion and green bell pepper. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, until soft.

Add the tomato and chickpeas, and season with a little salt. Lightly fry over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring often. If you think more liquid is needed, you can add a little water, but not too much.
