Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 pound butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cut into 2-inch cubes
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
2 cups vegetable broth
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons grated lime zest
1 ¾ cups water
1 (10 ounce) package dry couscous
salt to taste
1 tablespoon salted butter
6 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, divided
6 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, divided
6 tablespoons plain yogurt
6 wedge (blank)s lime wedges

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook onion and garlic in the hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes, squash, beans, tomatoes with juice, vegetable broth, cumin, and coriander; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until squash and potatoes are soft enough to eat, 30 to 50 minutes.
Ten minutes before the stew is finished cooking, bring 1 3/4 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in couscous; cover, and remove from the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes, then season with salt and stir in butter.
Remove stew from the heat and stir in lime zest, 1/2 of the cilantro, and 1/2 of the mint.
Serve stew next to couscous on a plate with a tablespoon of yogurt. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro and mint and serve with a lime wedge.
