Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas mark 6. Put the squash in a large roasting tin and drizzle over the oil. Season well. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until soft, then remove from the oven and stir through half the chopped parsley.
  2. Meanwhile, mist a large pan with cooking spray and put over a medium heat. Fry the onion for 4-5 minutes, or until soft. Add the garlic and cook for a further 1 minute, then add the pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until softened, then add the spices and cook for a further 1 minute.

  4. Meanwhile, prepare the couscous to pack instructions and stir through the remaining chopped parsley.
  5. Serve the stew with the couscous, topped with the roasted squash and a dollop of yogurt.
