Monday - israeli couscous with roasted butternut squash, chickpeas, kale, olives, dates, apricots, and preserved lemon

No real recipe, I made it up. But here's what I did:
Ingredients: Butternut squash Cinnamon Evoo Salt Pepper Smoked paprika Pomegranate molasses Garlic Kale Low-sodium chickpeas Dried apricots Dates Parsley Green olives with pimentos Preserved lemon Yogurt Cilantro cubes Harissa Onion/shallot Israeli couscous Veg broth (if you want)
Cut half a butternut squash into small cubes. Toss it with evoo, salt, pepper, cinnamon, smoked paprika, and pomegranate molasses. Roast at 500 until caramelized.
Meanwhile, cut a bunch of kale into small pieces, and saute in a pot with two cloves of chopped garlic, evoo, salt, and pepper. Remove from pot.
Dice some onion or shallots (I used shallots) and saute in evoo in the same pot until lightly brown. Add 2 cups israeli couscous, and stir around until lightly toasted. Add in 2 1/4 c liquid (or as much as your couscous package calls for) - I used 1 c veg broth and 1 1/4 c water. Drizzle in a little pomegranate molasses. Bring to simmer, cover for 8-10 min or until couscous is tender, stirring occasionally.
While the couscous cooks, drain and rinse a can of low sodium chickpeas. Slice a bunch of green olives with pimentos in half. Mince up a small preserved lemon (make sure to remove the seeds) and some parsley. Cut up about 8 apricots and 5 dates. When the couscous is done, fold in the kale, squash, chickpeas, dried fruit, olives, preserved lemon, and parsley. Make sure to taste for salt.
I served this with an additional drizzle of pomegranate molasses on top.
I also made a harissa-cilantro-yogurt sauce to go with it. I took one small container of greek yogurt (I had 2% but you can certainly use fat free) and mixed in 2 frozen cilantro cubes, 1 frozen garlic cube, and a bunch of harissa.
