Steps:
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, tomatoes, and spices and cook until the cinnamon stick unfurls and the tomatoes are cooked down, about 3 minutes. Add the squash, chickpeas, broth, lemon zest, and raisins and bring to a simmer. Cook, partially covered, until the squash is fork tender, about 25 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice and season, to taste.

- Fluff the couscous with a fork and mound it in 4 soup bowls. Spoon some butternut squash stew over each portion, top with almonds, and serve.

I tweaked this recipe I found in a magazine to suit my taste for sweet and spicy. I found that pureeing the tomatoes added a thicker consistency without using flour.-Erin Lembke, Monroe, Washington

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a variety of spices in your stew. This recipe calls for cumin, coriander, paprika, and cayenne pepper, but you can also add other spices that you like, such as cinnamon, cardamom, or ginger.
- If you don't have any beef broth on hand, you can substitute vegetable broth or water. However, the beef broth will give the stew a richer flavor.
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-cut butternut squash. However, if you have the time, it's worth it to peel and cut the squash yourself. This will give you more control over the size and shape of the pieces.
- To make the stew ahead of time, simply cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the stew in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, reheat the stew over medium heat until warmed through.
Conclusion:
This spiced beef and butternut squash stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that's perfect for a cold winter day. The stew is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give this recipe a try.
