1 1/2 cups thinly sliced onions
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups thinly sliced cabbage
dash of salt
1 large green bell pepper, cut in thin strips
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, (or to taste)
1 28 oz. can undrained, chopped tomato
1 16 oz. can drained garbanzo beans
1/3 cup currents or raisins
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 cups cooked couscous
4 tablespoons feta cheese
toasted slivered almonds
salt, to taste
In a large non-stick dutch oven, sauti the onions in olive oil for
5 minutes, or until softened. Add the cabbage, sprinkle with salt,
and continue to sauti for at least 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the bell pepper, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne to
the pot and sauti for another minute or so. Stir in the tomatoes,
chick peas, and currents or raisins, and simmer, covered, for about
15 minutes, until the vegetables are just tender. Add the lemon
juice and salt to taste. Serve over couscous, top with crumbled
feta cheese, and toasted almonds if you like
