Method
1. Boil the kettle and pour into the cous cous. If you're adding some spices you can put some in now to flavour the cous cosu while it cooks. While waiting for the cous cous to cook make sure you cover it with a plate or a few tea towels.
2. Chop the veg and fry with a bit of oil.
3. Once the veg is soft mix it with the cous cous, chopped tomatos, saltanas and chickpeas in a big pot and cook it for about 10-15 minues, until its hot and the chick peas are cooked. Make sure nothing sticks to the bottom!
4. Once everything is hot, it's ready to serve!
