Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 teaspoons Olive oil
1 Red onion; diced
2 Carrots; thinly sliced
2 Cloves garlic; minced
2 teaspoons Curry powder
2 teaspoons Ground cumin
1 can (13 3/4 oz) reduced-sodium chicken broth, defatted

2 tablespoons Mango chutney
1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Grated fresh ginger

Directions

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil until hot but not smoking over medium heat. Add the onion and carrots and cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, curry powder, and cumin and cook for 1 minute to blend the flavors.

Add the broth, chick-peas, currants, chutney, vinegar, ginger, and salt to the skillet and bring to a boil. Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the couscous, cover, and let stand until the couscous is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and serve.
