Ingredients:

Serving

1 (2 lb) butternut squash
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground cumin
1 cup diced tomato (canned )
1/3 cup dark raisins or 1/3 cup golden raisins or 1/3 cup craisins
1 (32 oz) container vegetable broth
1 (15 1/2 oz) can chickpeas, drained
2 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 cups couscous
2 tbsp chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
1/4 cup 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.
