- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 pinch saffron threads

- Add in the chicken stock.
- Add the salt, smoked paprika, and saffron to the pan, and stir to combine.
- Simmer the pot over medium-low heat for 15 minutes, stirring throughout so the couscous doesn’t stick to the bottom.

- Add the chickpea and corn to the pan and stir to combine.
- Finish the couscous dish with a splash of lemon juice. Garnish with chives if desired.
