1 Cup Celery — sliced
1 Cup Mushrooms — sliced
1/2 Cup Walnuts — chopped
1 Can Chickpeas

1 Teaspoon Salt

Couscous: Boil 1-1/2 cup water with 2 tablespoon oil. Add couscous, stir, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 5 min. Serve vegetables over steaming couscous.
Brown Veggies

Cook combined ingredients covered for 40 mins.
Above is the actual recipe I found and a couple pictures of the preparation. I cut out the tofu, walnuts, and raisins because I'm not a fan of them.
The recipe turned out pretty good. If I make it again I will probably take down the amount of chickpeas, but again that's just a personal preference. Enjoy
