Recipe - Cous Cous With Seven Vegetables Original Version

2 Quarteder onions
4 Quartered tomatoes
1 Finely cut or sliced up red chili
1 bn Fresh coriander; (cilantro)
1 bn Fresh flat leaved parsley
2 Cinnamon sticks
2 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Each of ground black pepper;
ginger, turmeric
One fourth teaspoon Saffron threads
8 small Halved carrots
4 md Quartered turnips
1 pound Cubed butternut squash
4 md Halved courgettes;
(zucchini)
1 cn (400g) chick peas drained
3 ounce Raisins; (optional)
1 pack (500g) couscous

In a large pan place onions, tomatoes, chili, half the pack of cilantro and
parsley add the spices and approx half pint water.Cover and simmer for 45
mins.Keep checking as to amount of liquid(because I haven't tried this
version and the original used 5 pints to make a broth from the chicken I
can't be more helpful here I'm afraid just keep an eye on it and add more
water if you think necessary) Add carrots and turnips cover and simmer for
15mins then add squash, zucchini,chick peas and raisins and simmer for a
further 15mins again checking on liquid if too runny for you cook uncovered
to reduce. Serve over couscous.
