Notes

You can prepare the spicy chickpeas and couscous ahead of time (3 days), just reheat them before serving.
Feel free to skip/adjust the type and amount of spices used in the chickpeas to suit your taste.
To infuse extra flavor in to the couscous, try adding some vegetable stock in place of the water.
If you can't find sumac spice, just add a squirt of lemon/lime juice and for a zestier couscous, add lemon zest.
If you're not a kale person, use spinach, arugula or any type of greens.
For a gluten free meal, use millet, buckwheat or quinoa and read this How To Cook Quinoa post for extra tips!
