Preparation time: 25 minutes | Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • Lundberg Organic Roasted Brown Rice Couscous
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts
  • 3 tablespoons sunflower oil (coconut or olive may be used)
  • Garlic Cloves (thinly sliced) – we used 2
  • 2 cups cooked chickpeas (8 hour soak, 2 hours to cook)
  • 2 bunches Swiss chard, stems trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon raisins
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation:

  1. Prepare couscous according to directions on box.
  2. Meanwhile, toast the pine nuts in a large skillet, over low heat. Shake the pan frequently, until nuts are golden (approx. 3 to 4 minutes). Transfer to a plate.
  3. Return the skillet to medium heat, add the oil, and heat for 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the chickpeas, raisins, chard, salt, and pepper.
  4. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chard is tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. Fluff the couscous with a fork and divide among individual plates. Top with the chard and sprinkle with pine nuts.
  6. Enjoy your deliciously healthy Swiss Chard with Chickpeas and Couscous
