+ 1 large butternut squash, peeled and cut into small cubes
+ 1 bunch of lacinato kale, chopped finely + 3 Tbsp. olive oil + salt and pepper + 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced + 4 oz. spicy Italian sausage, casings removed + 1/2 c. Israeli couscous + 1/2 c. quinoa, rinsed + 2 c. vegetable broth or chicken broth + 1 Tbsp. white wine vinegar What to do:
1. Preheat oven to 450°F. On a large baking pan, spread the squash and kale. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes, then add apples and bake another 15 minutes.
2. In a large pan, warm the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over moderate heat. Add the sausage and cook for 6 minutes, or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate, reserving the pan drippings. Add the couscous and quinoa and cook for 2 minutes. Add broth, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and cover. Cook for about 20 minutes, until broth is absorbed and couscous-quinoa is tender. 3. Remove pan from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Add back in the sausage, squash, apples, and kale. Season with vinegar, salt, pepper and serve.
