Ingredients

1/2 large crown prince or kabocha squash
40 g honey
40 ml olive oil plus 1 tbsp
1 tsp aleppo chilli flakes
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
2 tsp cumin seeds
2 cloves garlic finely grated
50 g blanched hazelnuts
200 g giant couscous
200 g cavolo nero leaves stripped from the stalks
10 g flat-leaf parsley finely chopped
100 ml tahini
25 g ginger roughly chopped
100 g greek yogurt

Steps

Heat the oven to 425 F.
Cut the squash into wedges and toss it with 40 ml olive oil, honey, chili flakes, turmeric, cumin seeds, and garlic.
Roast the squash on a large baking sheet for 30 to 35 minutes, turning once.
Cook the giant couscous in a pot of salted water for 10 to 12 minutes, then drain it.
Warm 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet, cook the cavolo nero for 5 minutes, and stir in the couscous and parsley.
Whisk the tahini, ginger, yogurt, lemon juice, and enough water to make a pourable dressing.
Toss the couscous mixture with the squash, hazelnuts, and dressing.
