Instructions

Cook the Butternut Squash
1
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Pop the butternut squash onto a large (lined) baking tray.
  • Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
  • When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden and cooked through, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.

TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

Make the Couscous
2
  • Meanwhile, pop the couscous into a bowl. 
  • Pour in 200ml boiling water (500ml for 4p) along with the stock powder.
  • Cover with a plate or cling film and leave aside for 10 mins (or until ready to serve).
  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a sieve. Stir the coconut milk (or shake the packet) to dissolve any lumps.
  • Cut the lemon into quarters.
Simmer the Stew
3
  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • When hot, add the chickpeas and cook, shifting occasionally, 3-5 mins. Add the ras-el-hanout. Fry for 1 min more. 
  • Stir in chopped tomatoes, peanut butter and two-thirds of the coconut milk.
  • Squeeze in the juice of one lemon wedge (double for 4p), cover and simmer, 8-10 mins.
  • Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Loosen the sauce with a splash of water if required.
Finish and Serve
4
  • Stir the roast butternut, honey and harissa paste into the stew.
  • Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
  • Fluff up the couscous with a fork and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the couscous between bowls and top with the stew.
  • Garnish with peanuts and a swirl of remaining coconut milk. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
