COUSCOUS WITH TURNIPS AND SWEET POTATOES
Turnips store well and are a vegetable you can count on during the winter. They are rich in sulfuric compounds, particularly glucosinolates, that are believed to have antioxidant properties. They're also a very good source of potassium. When you can get them with the greens attached, they're a two-in-one crop, like beets, as their greens bring you a whole new set of nutrients - lots of calcium, vitamin K, vitamin A and beta carotene - and culinary possibilities. Turnip greens are similar in flavor to kale, perhaps a little more bitter, and with a more delicate texture. Winter turnips are not sweet and tender like young spring turnips. They stand up to longer cooking times, so they're perfect for soups, stews and gratins. But I found them equally welcome in a frittata and a stir-fry. This spicy, comforting couscous demands little in the way of prep time. It's the long simmer on the stove that results in the tasty broth. As it simmers, the sweet potato falls apart into small bits that tint the broth.

Steps:
- Chop sweet potato, put in a pot with barely enough water to cover.
- Add salt, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer (just under medium temperature, not too low) for 10-12 minutes until tender.
- Cook couscous by placing in a bowl with equal amount of boiling water and covering immediately. Leave to cook while potato is simmering.
- Prepare ginger and lemon.
- Add everything except lemon zest and couscous to water and sweet potato and keep on cooking about 2 minutes.
- Stir in lemon zest.
- Fluff couscous, divide between two pasta plates (they hold the sauce better than flat plates) and top with sweet potato. Be generous with the sauce as it will soak into the couscous and add delicious flavour.
Tips:

- If you don't have couscous, you can use quinoa or rice instead.
- Add in your favorite vegetables to bulk up the dish and make it even healthier.
- Season the dish to taste with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
- Serve the sweet potato and turkey couscous immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
