I made this for dinner tonight (with some minor alterations) and it was amazing! Thank you! (I put some photos on my blog if you’re interested).

Thanks again! Will definitely be back to try more of your recipes.

Enjoy! Let me know how it goes. I have been experimenting with lots of grains recently. It’s been a pearl barley week but it’s all still experimentation :-)

One of my lovely friends has sent me some ptitim (Israeli Couscous) direct from Israel recently and I’m going to have to try this out.

Thanks Hillary – I must make it again, it was nice.

Must be a different packet.

Here you go: Use double the amount of water to cous cous, add a little olive oil and salt, and cook for 10-12 minutes or until tender to the bite.

Enjoy!

Finally tracked some down at HIHOCO (Highland Wholefood Cooperative) and excitedly prepared to cook.” Follow instruction on side of pkt to prepare couscous” you said…no instructions!. Can i just soak it like ordinary couscous? Out of season maybe, but spring is a long time coming in the frozen north.

I often pair squash and chorizo, they’re lovely together, contrasting flavours and textures. Plus, I have lots of squash to use up at the moment!

It is very seasonal also, as you say :)

In this dish, I left out the chorizo as I have been eating too much of it and used paprika to emulate the flavour.

I’m also amused that we both seemed to make a chorizo and squash stew/soup around the same time! Must be that we’re both thinking very seasonally and creatively, I’m sure. :)

Yes, it’s true, and they’re not even pleasant metaphors. Enjoy!

LOL! I love this sort of winter comfort food & I adore squashes & pumpkin, so this one is definitely being filed away for future reference.
