Take a butternut squash, slice it in half, scoop out the seeds, drizzle it with olive oil and put in a moderate oven for 50 mins.
Make up your couscous. I add chopped apricots, dried cranberries and pinenuts.
When the butternut squash is cooked, put the couscous in the hole where the seeds were and serve.

Last night we had cous cous and blackened trout http://www.britishtrout.co.uk/Recipes/couscous .htm
Also try this (for a quick, healthy lunch):
125g of cous cous
1 small carrot grated
1 small courgette grated
200 ml veg stock
1/2 tbsp curry powder
1/3 tbsp cumin powder
Bring stock up to boil in a pan and mix in with the spices.
Add the rest of the ingredients and stir for about 30 seconds then cover with a lid.
Lovely!

You could serve up plain couscous with any curry dish, casserole or stew (ie just like rice). It's also good with some vegetables and spices mixed into it (bit like a risotto). Even the commercial ones are good (Ainsley Harriot's spicy one is great for a light lunch - just half a packet is needed) and both Tesco's and Sainsbury's do a quick *snack pot* style - all you do is pour boiling water over it and leave to soak for a few minutes.
