Instructions
- Sautè the zucchini, sweet potato, and garlic in the oil until partially cooked, about 5 minutes.

- Drain and rinse the chick peas.
- Add the spices, chick peas, and peppers to the pan.
- Cover and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the couscous and raisins in another saucepan.
- Add enough water so that the couscous is covered by about 1/2 inch.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover tightly, remove from the heat, and let set at least 10 minutes.
- Remove the cover from the pepper/chick pea mixture, stir, and cook a few minutes longer to heat thoroughly and thicken.
