Directions
In a heavy, deep skillet with lid, saute the couscous in the olive oil. The Israeli type is bigger. DON'T SUBSTITUTE INSTANT. Add crushed garlic. Stir constantly until couscous starts looking toasted.
Meanwhile heat vegetable broth. Slowly add the broth and when it's all boiling, reduce to simmer, cover and cook until all the broth is absorbed (about 15 minutes +/-).
When the couscous is tender, remove from heat. Stir in the tahini, chick peas and lemon juice. Stir well to evenly distribute the tahini.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
