Sorry for the silence over the past few weeks; work's been catching up with me a bit!
Serves 4
Ingredients:
1/2 carton of creamed tomatoes
1 small squashkin (about 300g)
1 onion, chopped
1 small handful of pinenuts
1 small handful of cashew nuts
16 dried apricots
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp turmeric
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp cumin
400g dry couscous
500ml strongly flavoured stock
Method
Fry the onion and turmeric in oil, then add the squashkin. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the tomato and the rest of the spices. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes, then add the remainder of the ingredients. I personally like the apricots to be nearly falling apart, so after about 5 minutes, cook the couscous by adding the boiling stock. Leave to stand for 5 - 10 minutes then serve with the stew.
