ROOT VEGETABLE TAGINE WITH HERBED COUSCOUS
A pot of warm, fragrant root vegetables spooned over bright, lemony couscous is as good as gold on a winter day. Studded with chickpeas, raisins and meaty morsels of stewed tomatoes, this dish balances traditional tagine spices - cinnamon, coriander and turmeric - with a bright boost of ginger and lemon. Given a little time on the stove for the flavors to deepen and the vegetables to turn spoon-tender, this tagine is a worthwhile investment. Double it for a week of leftovers. You don't need a traditional terracotta tagine to pull this dish off. A Dutch oven mimics the same high heat conduction and similarly traps steam to keep the vegetables tender and moist, and bathed in flavor from the broth.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook until beginning to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, cinnamon, ginger, coriander and turmeric, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spices are toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the stock, squash, carrots, tomatoes and their juices, and lemon peel. Stir to release any spice bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook until the vegetables are almost tender and break easily with a spoon, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Stir in the chickpeas, raisins and honey and simmer, covered, until the chickpeas are warmed through and the raisins are plump, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Meanwhile, prepare the couscous: Bring the stock to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Combine the couscous, lemon zest and salt in a large bowl; pour the boiling stock on top. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap to steam, about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, and stir in the parsley.
- Divide the herbed couscous among the bowls and spoon the warm tagine on top. Sprinkle generously with pomegranate seeds and parsley or cilantro, and serve with lemon wedges on the side, for squeezing over.

Steps:
- Peel the onion and cut into 1/4-inch pieces. Peel and finely chop the garlic or pass it through a garlic press. Peel the carrots and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Trim the ends of the zucchini and yellow squash and discard. Cut them in half lengthwise and slice widthwise into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. Cut the bell pepper in half, remove the seeds and membranes, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel the eggplants and cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
- Place the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Add the carrots, zucchini, squash, bell pepper, cumin, cinnamon, crushed red pepper, salt, and 1 cup of the water and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Stir in the eggplant, the raisins, the tomatoes with their juice, and the chickpeas with their liquid. Cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Meanwhile, bring the remaining 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
- Spoon some of the couscous into the center of each plate and top with the vegetable tagine.

- A tagine is a Moroccan stew named after the special pot in which it's cooked. A traditional tagine pot is made of heavy clay and consists of a base that's circular and flat with low sides, and a large cone-shaped cover that rests inside the base during cooking. The design of the cover returns the condensation to the bottom. The cover is removed and the base is taken to the table for serving.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 7 minutes. Add the chickpeas, raisins, harissa, cinnamon, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring, until the spices are toasted, about 30 seconds.
- Working over the skillet, rip the tomatoes into large chunks with your hands and add to the skillet; add 2 cups water. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the tomatoes and chickpeas have softened, about 12 minutes. Stir in the squash and olives, cover and cook until the squash is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir gently, so as not to break apart the squash too much, and simmer, uncovered, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- While the tagine simmers, prepare the couscous according to the package directions.
- Remove the tagine from the heat, and stir in the cilantro. Taste and season with more salt, pepper and harissa, if desired. Divide the couscous among four plates, and spoon the tagine over it. Serve with additional harissa on the side.
