Add the onion, stirring occasionally, cook until wilted, about 12 minutes. Add the garlic during the last 2 minutes. Stir in the cumin and cook 2 more minutes to mellow the flavors. Add the chickpeas (garbanzo beans), the tomatoes with their juices, thyme, honey, lemon juice, broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes. Adjust the seasonings and stir in the parsley. To serve, spoon couscous (if desired) into 4 shallow bowls and top with stew. Serve immediately. Serves 4. Enjoy! recipe~Sheila Lukins Simply Delicious
