Moroccan-Style Couscous with Chickpeas

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus extra for serving

1 ½ cups couscous

2 carrots, peeled and chopped fine

1 onion, chopped fine

1 teaspoon table salt

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon ground ginger

¼ teaspoon ground anise seed

1 ¾ cups vegetable broth

1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed

1 ½ cups frozen peas

½ cup chopped fresh parsley

    Lemon wedges

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in 12-inch skillet over

    medium-high heat until shimmering. Add couscous and

    cook, stirring frequently, until grains begin to brown, 3 to

    5 minutes. Transfer to bowl and wipe skillet clean with

    paper towels.

  2. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in now-empty

    skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add carrots,

    onion, and salt and cook until softened and lightly

    browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in garlic, coriander, ginger,

    and anise and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir

    in broth and chickpeas and bring to simmer.

  3. Remove skillet from heat and stir in peas and

couscous. Cover and let sit until liquid is absorbed and

couscous is tender, about 7 minutes. Add parsley and

fluff with fork to combine. Season with salt and pepper to

taste and drizzle with extra oil. Serve with lemon wedges.
