Nutritional Info Per Serving: 242 cal; 9g protein; 3g total fat (1g sat. fat); 47g carb.; 37mg sodium; 6g Fiber
1 cup plain low-fat yogurt or soft tofu
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
Pinch of ground ginger
1 ripe large mango, peeled, pitted and diced
1/2 cup cooked or canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained if canned
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tbsp. orange juice
2/3 cup uncooked whole-wheat couscous (or regular)
To keep this pareve, since I was serving meat, I used soft tofu. It worked beautifully. I also don't like cumin, so I used ground coriander instead, and a bit of cinnamon. Instead of golden raisins, which I didn't have, I used dried cranberries. Very pretty.
