Harissa-kikherne- ja kurpitsatagine

The turmeric and cumin come through warm without being heavy, and the squash holds its shape while the harissa adds a gentle kick. I’ve had this as a lunch and a lazy dinner, and the cinnamon-sultana sweetness makes every bite feel a little special.

The harissa warmth hits right after the sweet sultanas, and the almonds add just enough crunch to keep every bite interesting. I was skeptical about cinnamon in a savory bowl, but it ties the whole thing together.

The cinnamon and sultanas are the star here—that sweet warmth balances the harissa's heat perfectly, and the almonds add a nice crunch. I heated mine for lunch and the squash was so tender it practically melted into the sauce.
