Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup organic vegetable broth
1 tbsp grated lemon rind
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 (15 1/2-oz) cans chickpeas ( garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
3 tbsp canola oil, divided
1 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 cup julienne-cut carrots
1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/8 tsp ground red pepper
6 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups warm cooked couscous (about 2 cups dry )
1/2 cup cilantro leaves
lemon wedges (optional)

Directions:

Combine the first 4 ingredients, stirring with a whisk.
Dry chickpeas thoroughly in a single layer on paper towels. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over high heat, and swirl to coat. Add chickpeas to pan, and stir-fry for 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove chickpeas from pan with a slotted spoon; wipe pan clean with a paper towel. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pan, and swirl to coat. Add bell pepper, carrots, and jalapeño to pan, and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until vegetables are slightly tender. Add cumin seeds and the next 5 ingredients (through garlic) to pan, and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add reserved broth mixture and chickpeas. Bring to a boil, and remove from heat. Serve over couscous, and top with cilantro. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
Wine Match: The light and lively Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc-Viognier 2010 ($14) pairs perfectly with this dish's bold spices. Floral aromas and a hint of sweetness temper the fiery jalapeño and red pepper. -Scott Jones
