4. Warm a cup of the check-pea broth in a skillet or sup pot and add the onion, garlic, and the dried spices.
5. Simmer gently until the onions have begun to soften, about 7 minutes.
6. Don’t let the pan dry out or the spices will burn.

9. Add enough chick-pea broth or water to cover, bring to a boil, then simmer until the vegetables are done and the liquid has reduced, making a nice sauce.
10. Add the green peas during the last 5 minutes.
11. Make the couscous and serve with the vegetables and their sauce.
12. Garnish with cilantro or parsley.
