2 small plum tomatoes (about 4 ounces), roughly chopped
1 small zucchini (about 4 ounces), cut into 1-inch dice
2 tablespoons raisins
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons fresh chopped mint
1/3 cup Homemade Chicken Stock, or canned low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth, skimmed of fat
1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger
1 medium clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon mild curry powder
2 tablespoons mango chutney
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 cup dry couscous
