Instructions

Add the couscous into a bowl and just cover with hot water. Check your packet instructions but this should be the same amount of water as couscous (eg. 1/3 cup couscous, 1/3 cup of water).
⅓ cup instant couscous

Fried Chickpeas

Drain and rinse off the chickpeas, put them in a bowl and add the olive oil.
1.5 cup chickpeas, 1 tsp olive oil
Take your potato masher (or fork if you don’t have one), give the chickpeas a good mashing.
Heat up a frying pan and fry the chickpeas for about five minutes, until they have some colour. Add the soy sauce and vinegar to chickpeas.
1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Zucchini Side

In the meantime, cut the zucchini into thin slices and the bell pepper into long, thin strips.
You can either grill them for a couple of minutes or use the same pan once the chickpeas have finished, using the olive oil.
1 small zucchini, 1 tsp olive oil, 1 medium bell pepper
Chop the coriander and add it to the yoghurt.
½ bunch cilantro/coriander, fresh, 4 tbsp low fat Greek Yogurt
Put the fried chickpeas on a plate with the quinoa and scramble them about so that they mix, and then layer the zucchini and bell pepper over the top.
Add some salt and pepper to everything and drizzle a little yogurt over to finish. Serve with couscous. Enjoy!
