Pumpkin tagine with date couscous

With so many pumpkins going around, (we have 5 in the house at the moment!) I couldn't resist a pumpkin recipe and this one is lovely and sweet so very child friendly.

2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, thickly sliced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp ground chilli (optional)
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
750ml veg stock
800g coarsely chopped pumpkin
150g frozen broad beans, thawed, shelled
1 tbsp brown sugar
120g chopped seeded dates
2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander

couscous
50g butter
250g couscous
500ml boiling water
80g chopped dates

1. Heat oil in medium saucepan, add the onion, garlic, spices and cook stirring for about 3 mins.
2. Add the stock and pumpkin, bring to the boil then reduce and simmer covered for about 10mins or until pumpkin is almost tender.
3. Remove lid and simmer uncovered for 5 mins or until the pumpkin mixture thickens slightly.
4. Add remaining ingredients, cook stirring until heated through.
5. Combine butter, couscous and the water in a large heatproof bowl, cover and stand for 5 mins or until all teh water is absorbed, fluff with a for and stir in the dates. Serve with the pumpkin tagine.
