Step 1

Put the cous cous in a bow with the olive oil. With a fork shell the cous cous for a couple of minutes.

Step 2

Put a pot on the stove with the water. Usually the water is twice the weight of the cous cous but adjust the quantity according to what is written in the cous cous box. Heat up the stove and once the water starts boiling switch it off and put all the spices in the water. Mix it with a spoon for few seconds and then add the cous cous too. Cover with a lid and shake the pot horizontally for a minutes. Let it rest now for 15 minutes. Repeat the procedure that has been done before the cous cous preparation and shell it gently with a fork, layer by layer.

Step 3

Slice the eggplants in small cube. Warm up a griddle and cook the eggplant cubes until they become a little crispy. Once they are ready, remove them from the heat and keep aside.

Step 4

If you are using canned chickpeas it is not necessary to cook them in advanced. Just put them into a strainer and wash under fresh water. In case you are using dried chickpeas consider to prepare them a day before living them in fresh water for at least 12 hours and after that boil them for two hours.

Step 5

Now you can mix the cous cous with the eggplants, chickpea and feta all together. Mix and serve the dish hot or cold, just do it as you prefer. You can add some fresh parsley or coriander to add some color.
