Method

STEP 1

Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add the chickpeas and onion and stir-fry for 3 mins or until the onion softens. Add the cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, if using, and garlic and stir-fry for 5 mins or until the chickpeas are light golden. Transfer to a bowl.

STEP 2

Add the zucchini, carrot and capsicum to the wok or pan and stir-fry for 3-4 mins or until the vegetables are tender. Return the chickpea mixture to the wok or pan with the spinach and stir-fry for 1 min or until the spinach just wilts. Season.

STEP 3

Combine the tahini and lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir in enough hot water until the mixture is runny enough to drizzle. Season.

STEP 4

Divide the chickpea mixture and couscous among serving plates. Drizzle with the tahini dressing and season to serve.
