Notes
Ancho chillies are Poblano chillies from Mexico used widely for chilli dishes. These chillies are spicy and a little goes a long way. Use sparingly Chipotle chillies are dried jalopenos again widely popular in Mexican cuisine. They are smoky and very tasty
Remember to soak beans before making this dish. Just soak it the previous day boil them till soft. Canned beans can also be used, drain and wash them thoroughly before using them. I prefer soaking beans at home
Cayenne pepper or red chilli powder can also be used for more colour and spice
Add any kind of vegetables you like, potatoes, courgettes
To cook couscous, take the couscous in a bowl add salt and pepper, a few drops of olive oil, add 2 cups boiling water for 1 cup couscous, cover and let it rest. Fluff up after it has soaked up all the water
