4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 cup chopped onion

1 cup sliced leek, 1/2-inch-thick

1 clove garlic, minced

½ teaspoon ground coriander

⅛ teaspoon ground cumin

⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper

6 cups vegetable broth

2 cups cubed peeled butternut squash in 1/2-inch pieces

1 (15.5 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 ½ cups peeled and cubed Yukon Gold potatoes

1 cup peeled and cubed turnips

1 cup carrot slices, 1/2-inch thick

1 tablespoon harissa

1 ½ teaspoons tomato paste

¾ teaspoon salt

1 ¼ cups water

1 (6 ounce) package quick-cook couscous mix (such as Near East Mediterranean Curry)

¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 ½ teaspoons honey

1 lemon, cut into wedges

Directions

Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and leek; saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, coriander, cumin, and cayenne pepper; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.

Pour in vegetable broth. Stir in butternut squash, chickpeas, potatoes, turnips, carrots, harissa, tomato paste, and salt. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes.

Bring water, couscous spice packet, and remaining olive oil to a boil in a separate saucepan. Stir in couscous. Cover and remove from heat. Let stand until couscous is tender, about 5 minutes.

Add parsley and honey to the stew. Place 1/2 cup couscous into each serving bowl and top with 1 cup stew. Squeeze a lemon wedge into each dish.

Omit the honey for a vegan option.

Substitute parsnips for turnips, if desired.
