Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in 1 cup couscous and 0.5 cup raisins. Toast for 2 minutes, stirring, until couscous smells nutty.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in 1.25 cups vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Remove from heat and fluff with a fork. Stir in the drained chickpeas and remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.

  5. Step 5

    Fold in 0.25 cup chopped dill and 3 sliced green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm or at room temperature.
