Instructions
- Prepare cous cous according to package instructions.
- Mix onions, garlic, salsa, chickpeas (drained), tomato paste, salt, spices, hot sauce and liquid smoke in food processor. Pulse until just blended and mixture remains chunky (not a paste)
- Scrape into a bowl and mix in all remaining ingredients. Store in the fridge for 30 min while you preheat oven to 375 F
