  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp of curry powder

  • 250g/9oz couscous
  • 400g/14oz tin of chickpeas, drained & thoroughly rinsed

How to make One Pot Curried Couscous

1. Heat the margarine in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Once melted, add the onion and cover with a lid. Allow to cook for ten minutes, stirring occasionally.

2. Add the curry powder, mix well to combine. Cook for two minutes.

3. Next, add the couscous, stock and chickpeas. Cover with a lid, turn the heat right down to low, and allow to cook for four or five minutes.
