Ingredients:

Serving

1 butternut squash (2 lb)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground cumin
1 cup canned diced tomatoes
1/3 cup dark or golden raisins
1 32- oz container vegetable broth
1 15.5- oz can chickpeas, drained
2 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 cups couscous
2 tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/4 cup (1 oz) almonds, chopped

Directions:

Halve and peel the squash. Remove the seeds and cut the squash into 1-inch chunks. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cayenne, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon of the cumin and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the squash, tomatoes, raisins, broth, chickpeas, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Uncover and cook until the squash is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups water and the remaining cumin and salt to a boil. Stir in the couscous. Cover, remove from heat, and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Divide the couscous among individual bowls and ladle the squash over the top. Sprinkle with the parsley and almonds.
