Chickpea & Couscous Salad

When using canned chickpeas this becomes a really easy and fast salad to make.

Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup couscous
- 1 cup water
- 1 can chickpeas (= garbanzo beans)
- 1 tomato
- 1 shallot
- 1 small bunch italian parsley
- salt, pepper and paprika

Bring the water to a boil, turn off the heat and mix in couscous, salt, pepper and paprika - stir it up and let it stand, covered, till most the water has been absorbed. Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas together with the diced tomato and shallot. Finally mix in chopped parsley.
