How to prepare roasted butternut squash with Israeli Couscous
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds butternut squash peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2" dice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter more if necessary
- 1 tablespoon olive oil more if necessary
- 1 large sweet onion diced
- 1 3/4 cups Israeli couscous
- 2 cups homemade chicken stock low sodium canned is fine
- 2/3 cup orange juice
- 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 cup dried cranberries coarsely chopped
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
Instructions
- Toss the squash with the two tablespoons of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
- Place on a foil-covered roasting pan and roast at 425°F until the squash is cooked and has caramelized on the outside, tossing gently every few minutes. This should take about 20 minutes or so. Set aside and keep warm.
- Heat the one tablespoon of oil and the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the couscous and cook for three or four minutes, stirring frequently, until at least some of the couscous takes on a golden brown color.
- Add the onion and a bit more salt and pepper, and cook until the onion has softened. You may need to add a bit more oil and/or butter. If you do not want to add more fat, add just a bit of water to keep the couscous and onion from sticking.
- Bring the stock and orange juice to a boil in a pan or microwave.
- Add the stock mixture all at once. Add the poultry seasoning. Bring everything to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Cook until the couscous has absorbed almost all of the stock. Stir in the cranberries, the reserved squash, and the rosemary.
- Taste for seasoning and adjust as necessary.
Serve hot or at room temperature.
