BUTTERNUT SQUASH & COUSCOUS
Love couscous? Then this one may be for you. A fluffy bed of semolina topped with a rich wintery stew of squash ahd tomatoes. What's not to like? Described as a side dish, this would be a great meatless meal. Recently snagged this one from the Internet and posting here for safekeeping.

Steps:
- FOR ALMONDS:.
- In a small frying pan toast the almonds over moderately low heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Alternately, you may toast them in a 350 F oven for 5 to 10 minutes.
- FOR SQUASH:.
- In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, cayenne, nutmeg, and cinnamon and cook, stirring, 1 minute longer until fragrant.
- Stir in the tomatoes, squash, raisins, broth, and 1 teaspoon of the salt and bring to a simmer.
- Stir in the chickpeas and cook, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Uncover and simmer until the squash is tender, about 10 minutes more. Stir in the parsley.
- FOR COUSCOUS:.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring the water and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil. Follow the directions on your package for the correct amount of water. (Mine is 2 parts water to 1 part couscous, but this varies) Stir in the couscous. Cover, remove from the heat, and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
- Serve the stew over the couscous and top with the toasted almonds.
