quick, easy, vegetarian and a little spicy

Bring the broth to a boil with the cinnamon, turmeric, and curry paste, then remove from the heat. Allow the couscous to swell according to the package instructions. Fluff with a fork. Stir in 1 tablespoon of oil, the almonds, and the parsley, then add salt to taste and let cool. Then add 3/4 of the feta cheese. Halve the zucchini lengthwise, scoop out the seeds with a teaspoon, and chop. Mix with the tomatoes, the remaining oil, the spring onions, and the garlic. Season with pepper, cayenne pepper, salt, and tomato salt and transfer everything to a baking dish. Place the zucchini halves on the bed of tomatoes and fill with the couscous. Place in the oven at 220°C for 15 minutes, then sprinkle with the remaining feta cheese and return to the oven for another 15-20 minutes. If the almonds or feta cheese are getting too brown, cover with a lid. Serve with yogurt and mustard dip, if desired. Mix all the ingredients for the dip well. I always make it by feel, so I can’t give exact instructions. This dip is delicious with more than just baked zucchini—just try it.
