 Directions

In a heavy medium saucepan, whisk together the stock, cinnamon, ginger,

constantly, and continue to boil, stirring, for 1 minute. Cover the pot
tightly, remove from the heat and let stand for
15 minutes.

Fluff the couscous grains with a fork, transfer to a large mixing bowl and
let cool. Then fluff again, rubbing with your fingers to break up any
lumps.

Add the carrot, bell pepper, cucumber, onion, apple, currants and chick
peas and toss.

In a small jar with a lid, shake the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
with the lemon juice, salt and pepper until well mixed. Pour over the salad
and toss well. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or up to 3 days.
Season with additional salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste before serving
