Method

Step 1 of 4

Place the squash on a roasting tray and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle over the cumin seeds. Roast in a preheated oven, 180°C for 30 minutes until the squash is tender.

Step 2 of 4

Meanwhile, mix together the coriander, ground cumin, paprika and 2 tablespoons of the oil. Rub the mixture over the swordfish steaks and leave in the refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes.

Step 3 of 4

Place the couscous in a heatproof bowl. Mix the harissa paste with the boiling stock and pour it over the couscous. Cover the bowl with clingfilm and leave for 5-8 minutes, then fluff the couscous up with a fork to separate the grains. Mix in the lemon juice and remaining oil and season with salt and pepper. Finally, stir in the roasted butternut squash.

Step 4 of 4

Place the marinated swordfish in a very hot griddle pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. Serve immediately with the warm couscous.
