2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1 tablespoon butter, melted |
3 acorn squash, halved and seeded (small to medium size) |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 cloves garlic, chopped |
2 stalks celery, chopped |
2 carrots, chopped |
1 cup garbanzo beans, drained |
1/2 cup raisins |
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin |

14 ounce chicken broth |
1 cup uncooked couscous |

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, celery, and carrots, and cook 5 minutes. Mix in the garbanzo beans and raisins. Season with cumin, salt, and pepper, and continue to cook and stir until vegetables are tender.
