Couscous with chickpeas, dates and scallions from Milk Street: Cookish: Throw It Together (page 114) by Christopher Kimball

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Solid recipe. I sautéed some onion to boost flavor and added cumin seeds, ground coriander and thyme. I also subbed pearl couscous that I toasted.

    I could eat the all salad! This is so fantastic so full of flavor. It is so easy to put together and the flavors really balance each other in a perfect way. I used the dates, not the apricots and changed nothing. I love it It is so simple but perfect. A 10!
