Tangy Couscous with Asparagus

== Description ==
The Tabasco taste here is to make this Moroccan dish actually a bit spicy. This is a twist of mine to the basic couscous dish.
== Ingredients ==
* 4 cups cooked couscous
* ½ teaspoon Tabasco sauce
* 2 oz (58 g) unsalted butter
* 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard
* 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
* ¼ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
* 1 pound fresh green asparagus, cut into 1-inch segments
* 1 can of chickpeas
== Directions ==
# Boil the asparagus in a large pot of well salted water, for just for a minute or so - depending on the thickness of your asparagus. Drain.
# Stop the cooking with cold water or a dunk in an ice bath, then drain well before using.
# In a food processor, whip the butter until it is light and airy.
# Add the mustard, Tabasco sauce, lemon juice and salt.
# Take the canned chickpeas (make sure they are cooked tender) and mix with the hot couscous.
# Toss the Tabasco butter. Stir in the asparagus. And serve.
