Whole spices always add an extra layer of flavour and use them as often as we can. Here we turn to cumin seeds, which bring a lovely warmth to our cherry tomatoes and chickpeas – and we serve it all with a lemon-infused couscous, yoghurt and cucumber.
Notes:
- You can easily make this gluten-free by switching the couscous for quinoa or rice. We recommend cooking the quinoa or rice at the start of the recipe and stirring the lemon juice into the cooked quinoa or rice just before serving.
- There are now lots of vegan yoghurts to choose from at the supermarket. We recommend using a Greek-style vegan yoghurt, which is usually oat-based. These tend to be less sweet in comparison to soy-based yoghurts, however a coconut-based yoghurt would also work really well in this recipe.
- You can store the tomato and chickpea mixture, as well as the couscous, for up to 2 days in an air-tight container in the fridge.

Made this tonight and almost licked the plate clean, it was delicious! Only change I made was that I gave a big squeeze of lemon over the finished tomatoes and chickpeas before dishing up and did extra lemon juice in the couscous – I always up the lemon (and then eat them after I juice them, ha!)
Thanks so much Corey!
When do the cumin seeds go in?
Step 4 🙂
Added baby carrots at the same time as the cherry tomatoes and used quinoa as the base instead of couscous. Love love love this recipe! Easy, beautiful, quick, and DELICIOUS! Thank you!
