Place the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add the cumin seeds and chili flakes, and toast for 2 – 3 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the diced shallot + minced garlic to the pot, cooking for 3 – 4 minutes until soft and slightly golden.
Add the capers, sundried tomatoes, salt + pepper, and continue to cook for another could of minutes to allow the ingredients to combine. The longer you cook this mixture, the stronger the flavours will be.
Add the vegetable bullion paste and half of the lemon juice. Stir until combined.
Add the sliced zucchini and chickpeas.
Cook this for 2 – 3 minutes, then add the couscous, hot water, and lemon zest.
Bring this to a boil, then allow to simmer for 10 – 12 minutes to cook the couscous.
Finish the dish off by stirring in the second half of lemon juice, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and Italian parsley. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
