Moroccan Chickpea and Vegetable Stew with Couscous

this is delicious stew. very flavorful from the spices, but not too spicy, just right. there is no meat in it, and you most likely won't miss it, as the chickpeas are very "meaty" themselves. but i don't see why you couldn't add some meat if you really wanted to. it also goes from prep to table in about 30 minutes, great for weeknight dinners. from cooking light.
