Pantry Supper: Moroccan Stewed Tomatoes, Chickpeas, Raisins, and Pine Nut Couscous
When last we spoke I was waxing poetic on the beauties of spring. But you know what? Since then it’s been rainy and cold, and I have twice caught sight of flurries. Because of the unseasonable precipitation and a schedule that has included more running around than I would like, I haven’t bought much in the way of fresh ingredients lately. I just can’t get it together.
But that doesn’t mean I’ve been speed-dialing Joy Kitchen every night. In a perfect world I would have an entire roster of delicious meals that could be made from nothing but the contents of a well-stocked pantry. In reality I have a mere sense of what can be made with cans of this and boxes of that. With a little creativity and hard thinking, my handful may one day become a roster after all.
This quick dish would be great with other dried fruits, like apricots and plums. Is it cheating if the pine nuts come in the box? Who cares. You are hungry, this stuff is delicious, and America’s Next Top Model comes on in 15 minutes.
