I'm gonna have to try this one...I LOVE chick peas but the only way I've had it in a main dish is in cuban black bean soup....(ex boyfriend's father used to make it all the time)... and I've never tried couscous or turnips so, I think I'll have to try this one.

I made this for dinner tonight. And OMG, am I in heaven!!! It's so delicious so do yourselves a favour and make it. It is easy and tastes so yummy. 
I was buying a very tiny 'Le Commensal' frozen dinner for $5. For the same price, I've made enough to serve six hungry adults!

Thanks for this recipe. I just ate some veggie couscous at a Morrocan restaurant in Epcot at Disney World. It was tasty!
I'm definitely gonna try this.
