Couscous With Feta, Chickpeas And Tomato - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or 1/2 teaspoon basil
    4 garlic cloves, minced
    2 1/4 cups vegetable broth, divided
    1 (16 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
    3 medium ripe tomatoes, seeded and chopped
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 cup couscous, uncooked
    2 cups green onions, coarsely chopped
    1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Preparation
    Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan or large skillet over medium heat.
    Add red pepper and garlic and cook for three minutes, stirring frequently.
    Stir in a half a cup of the broth, along with the dried oregano or basil and chickpeas. Turn heat up to boil the mixture, then lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
    Add remaining 1 and 3/4 cups of broth and salt, then bring to the boil. Add tomatoes. Gradually stir in couscous, then remove from heat, cover, and let stand 5 minutes until couscous cooks.
    Stir in green onions and feta, toss well, and serve. May add some cracked black pepper, if you like.
    Great next-day leftovers!
