Sub for couscous in Moroccan tagine?

Recommended Posts

I'm making a Moroccan lamb tagine tonight for some friends:

It is entirely compliant except for the couscous that it is supposed to be served with. I'm happy to still make and serve couscous to my friends... but any ideas about what I can sub for myself? 

 

One thought I had was to put the stew in half a roasted acorn squash. Any others?

acorn squash would be great.

 

Basically think about mild/bland vegetables that could soak up the sauce. This could be "riced" steamed cauliflower, or cubes of  winter squash or a pile of steamed green beans--even a bunch of raw baby spinach would work (wilts when the sauce is put on top).

I've served Moroccan-style meat dishes over wilted greens like chard, kale, bok choy, etc. I always wilt chard and kale with apple cider vinegar and the vinegar bite is a nice compliment to the meat over it.
