Couscous with spicy chickpeas sounds pretty good after last week's indulgence - simple, vegetarian grains are a great chaser to Thanksgiving. Michael at Herbivoracious offers an easy tip to make fluffier couscous without painstaking multiple steamings. Check out his tip and his blog for more great vegetarian recipes.
If you are not vegan and feel like adding a little "unctiousness" to your couscous try rubbing the steamed couscous between your hands with pats of butter. That will coat the individual grains of couscous with rich buttery flavor.

I'm drooling, and just scoured the Herbivoracious site for the chickpea stew recipe and can't find it ! Any ideas where it could be?
