Ingredients:

Serving

1 10- oz box couscous
1/2 cup pine nuts
3 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 15.5- oz can chickpeas, rinsed
1/2 cup raisins (dark or golden )
2 bunches swiss chard, stems trimmed
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Directions:

Place the couscous in a bowl. Add 1 1/2 cups boiling water and stir. Cover tightly and let stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, over low heat, toast the pine nuts, shaking the pan frequently, until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Return skillet to medium heat, add the oil, and heat for 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the chickpeas, raisins, chard, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chard is tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Fluff the couscous with a fork and divide among individual plates. Top with the chard and sprinkle with the pine nuts.Tip: It's easy to vary this basic recipe from one week to the next. Try using spinach instead of Swiss chard, almonds in place of pine nuts, or currants as a substitute for raisins.
