Critical Success Points

  • Cut the squashes into appropriate sizes to achieve different textures.
  • Simmer long enough (30 min) for the squashes to become tender and flavors to develop.
  • Coat the couscous with olive oil before adding hot water to prevent it from sticking.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the knife carefully to avoid cuts.
  • Be careful with hot oil when sautéing the onions.
  • Use gloves or a towel to handle the pot containing very hot water.
