Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the carrots, onion and garlic in a shallow roasting pan. Stir in ¼ cup of broth, 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes. Stir in the squash and roast until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes, stirring twice.

  2. Step 2

    Place the pan on top of the stove, over medium-high heat. Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth. Stir, scraping up all of the bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Lower the heat slightly and stir in 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper, chickpeas, cumin and turmeric. Cook until broth is reduced to a sauce consistency, about 3 minutes more.

  3. Step 3

    Remove from heat and stir in the couscous. Divide among 4 plates and garnish with cilantro. Serve immediately.

Made with carrots and portobella

Not a salad but a great side dish. The flavors were wonderful and I served the dish as a side to salmon fillets. Very pretty also. I used toasted Israeli couscous and omitted the cilantro garnish. Delicious.
