This recipe is a winner. Before you even start, the simple fact that it has harissa paste means that it's going to be good. Harissa is delicious spice mix, it comes in a jar and you'll find it in all of the supermarkets. It's a blend of olive oil, garlic and fragrant spices like coriander, paprika, caraway and cumin. It adds a fantastic flavour any time you use it and it's a key part of this stew but it's also great when used as a marinade too.

The chickpeas and lentils help to boost the protein content of this dish and the squash adds a delicious sweetness to the meal. If you don't have any butternut squash you can easily use pumpkin or sweet potato instead.
