2 yellow or green zucchini
1 sm. Spanish onion, thinly sliced
4 cups vegetable stock
1 can (19 oz.) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup sultana raisins

Comments from olga :

Here, slowly cooked squash and raisins add their flavour to a tasty broth that plumps up the couscous. Serve with a splash of hot pepper sauce.
