Garlic, minced 2 Cloves

Tomato paste 1 Tbsp

Tomatoes, seeded and diced 2 Pcs.

Ground Cumin 2 Tsp

Paprika 1 Tsp

Ground ginger 1 Tsp

Ground cinnamon 1 Tsp

Ground cayenne pepper 1/4 Tsp

Red peppers, chopped 2 Pcs.

Zucchini, halved and cut into wedges 2 Pcs.

Small turnips, peeled and cut into wedges 2-3 Pcs.

Bunch carrots, peeled and chopped 1

Butternut squash, peeled and cubed 1 Pcs.

Vegetable broth or water 4 Cup

Can chickpeas, rinsed and drained 15 ounce

Ras el-hanout 2 Tsp

Chopped parsley 2 Tbsp

Handful slivered almonds (optional)

Dead sea Salt and pepper to taste

Pack instant couscous 1

Instructions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large, deep saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Add the garlic and tomatoes and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and spices, and stir to combine. Sauté the mixture for a few additional minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.

Step 3

Add the red peppers, zucchini, turnips, carrots, and squash, as well as the broth or water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cover. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 4

Remove cover and add chickpeas. Simmer until chickpeas are heated through and stew is thickened, another 5-10 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, make couscous according to package directions. Remove from heat and cover. Let stand for 5 minutes. Remove cover and fluff couscous with a fork to break up any clumps.

Step 6

Just before serving, add the ras el-hanout to the stew. Taste and adjust seasonings.

Step 7

To serve, spread the couscous on a platter or shallow dish with a well in the middle. Spoon the vegetable stew over the couscous. Garnish with chopped parsley and slivered almonds, if using.
