Preparation

In a large frying pan or saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook garlic, onion, celery, yellow pepper and beans for 2 to 3 minutes, until soft but not browned.
Stir in tomatoes, juice and broth. Bring to a boil, and add salt, pepper and hot sauce.
Stir in couscous and cover. Remove from heat and let stand about 5 minutes or until couscous has absorbed almost all the liquid. Fluff with a fork. Add chickpeas, herbs and cheese; stir well. Serve immediately.
Variation
For a change of taste, try with Canadian Bocconcini, Mozzarella, Gouda, Cheddar or Havarti.
