INSTRUCTIONS
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add celery, garlic,
onion, red pepper, and squash. Saute, stirring continually, until onions
are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add vegetable stock, salt, turmeric, and
cumin, and continue cooking, stirring often, for about 15 minutes. In a
medium skillet, toast couscous over medium-high heat, stirring often, for 3
to 5 minutes. Add water and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring
occasionally, until water is absorbed and couscous is tender. Add carrots,
zucchini, and raisins to simmering vegetable mixture and cook until carrots
are tender, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with sunflower kernels and serve
with couscous.

NOTES : *A semolina pasta much like regular couscous but in a larger,
pearl-like form. Israeli couscous is sold in packages and in bulk in some
supermarkets and natural foods stores and is available by mail order from
the Indian Harvest catalog: (800) 294-2433.
