Butternut Squash Salad with Dukkah
Ingredients
- 1 small butternut squash (about 1 pound/450 g)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 red jalapeño or other fresh chile
- ½ bunch fresh parsley
- 1¼ cups (250g) instant couscous
- 1¾ cups (420 ml) boiling water
- 1 cup (160 g) drained cooked chickpeas
- Juice of 1 small lemon
- 3 tablespoons Dukkah see below
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Peel the squash, then halve it lengthwise and remove the seeds. Brush the cut sides with 1 tablespoon of the oil and place it cut side down on the baking sheet. Roast for 45 minutes, or until fork-tender.
-
While the squash is roasting, mince the garlic and jalapeño. Coarsely chop the parsley.
-
Combine the garlic and chile with the couscous in a large bowl. Cover with the boiling water and then cover with a plate or dish towel for 10 minutes.
-
Remove the squash from the oven. When it’s cool enough to handle, scoop the flesh from the skin with a large spoon. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
-
Fluff the couscous with a fork. Mix in the squash and chickpeas.
-
Whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon juice, parsley, and dukkah. Toss with the couscous mixture. Serve.
Recipe Notes
Tip: In this recipe we don’t use the skin of the squash, but in other dishes, like a stir-fry, you can leave the skin on.
