yummiest moroccan spiced dish

I stumbled across this recipe in real simple (one of my favorite magazines) and thought it would be so yummo in my tummo.  i love ethnici tried it, and it's now a favorite of mine.  the recipe in the magazine was 'spiced braised beef with sweet potatoes', but i just cut the beef - here is the vegan version:


heads up - this serves about 6, so if you're a single girl like me living alone, i'd half it.  the leftovers keep really well.
ingredients
  • 2 sweet potatoes (about 1 pound), cut into 1/2-inch-thick half-moons
  • 1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
  • 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
  • kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups couscous (i prefer wheet)
  • 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
  • 2 cups baby spinach (1 1/2 ounces)
  • 1/4 cup roasted almonds, chopped

directions
  1. in a bit pot, throw in the onions (and i threw in some garlic) and sautee for about 5 minutes
  2. throw in them taters, and sautee for about 10 minutes (stirring occassionally) until tender
  3. throw the rest in (including the juice from the tomatoes), and let that cook and simmer until juice has been absorbed (about 20 minutes)
  4. pour over the couscous and get ready for a food explosion in yo mouth
