INDIAN SPICED VEGETABLE AND COUSCOUS POT

Steps:

• Heat a deep nonstick skillet or pot (choose one that has a tightfitting lid) over medium-high heat with the EVOO. When the EVOO ripples, stir in the ginger, cumin, red pepper flakes, and garlic, then add the cauliflower. Stir and sear the cauliflower, caramelizing it at the edges, 2 or 3 minutes, then push it to the side of the pan. Add the eggplant and onion and let them sit for 3 minutes or so; they will caramelize bit as well at their edges. Toss to combine the vegetables and add the chickpeas. In a small dish mix the coriander, turmeric, allspice, and salt. Stir in the spices and chicken stock and combine well. Bring the stock up to a bubble, 1 minute. Stir in the couscous and place a lid on the pan. Turn the heat off and let the pot stand for 5 minutes, covered. Remove the lid and fluff the mixture with a fork. Top each portion liberally with either torn or shredded basil or chopped cilantro.
