Instructions

Drain and season the chickpeas, then braise them over medium-high heat until well browned, about 9 minutes.

Add the red onion, kalamata olives and bell peppers, cooking until softened, about 7 minutes.

Stir in the lemon juice, tahini, fresh oregano and sumac for 4 minutes.

Cook the couscous separately and fluff with a fork.

Let the chickpeas simmer for about 12 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve hot over the couscous, garnished with fresh herbs.
