- cooking pot
Ingredients
- ½ butternut squash
- 300 gr chickpeas pre cooked
- 1 red onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 350 ml vegetable broth
- 3 dates big medjoul
- 2 tea spoon Ras El Hanout

- 4 tbl spoon raw almonds
- 1 tea spoon cumin seeds
- 2 tbl spoon olive oil
- 250 gr greek yogurt
- 3 tbl spoon coriander chopped

Instructions
- Peel the pumpkin and cut it into cubes of +/- 2 x 2 cm. Peel the red onion and cut it in half and then into thin slices. Chop the garlic cloves. Rinse the chickpeas (if from a can or jar). Toast the almonds in a pan until they start to brown. Chop the fresh cilantro.
- Make the yogurt by mixing it with 1 tablespoon of shredded fresh coriander and the juice of ¼ lemon.
- Put the olive oil in the tagine. On a low fire we will first let the onion and garlic cook. When you put the lid on the tagine, all aromas and moisture remain inside the pan. After about 2 minutes, remove the lid and add the pumpkin, dates, Ras el Hanout, cinnamon and rose harissa. Now let this cook for another 2 minutes on a low heat. Then add the broth and the cumin seeds, stir well. Put the lid on the tagine and let it stew for a total of 20 minutes. Now and then you open the tagine and stir everything well together.
- For the couscous we let water boil together with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. When the water boils, turn off the heat and add the couscous. Put the lid on the pot and let it steep for 5 minutes. Done.
- When the pumpkin is ready, add the chickpeas and almonds. Let everything warm up well. Remove the lid, sprinkle the coriander on top and spoon the yoghurt into the center of the tagine. Now don't stir anymore. Serve with the couscous.

When do the almonds go in please?
Good morning Yoanna, thanks for pointing this out to me! That was indeed not clear in the recipe.
Because we have toasted them in advance, they can be added to the tagine together with the chickpeas.
But if you like them to remain crispy, I would sprinkle them on top just before serving. Enjoy, greetings Patricia
