Ingredients

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

Steps:

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.
