南瓜库斯库斯是摩洛哥秋季的时令主食，南瓜和冬南瓜上市时做。库斯库斯铺底，上面浇一勺炖化的南瓜浓汤，甜咸兼有。南瓜在浓汤中炖至化开，果胶和淀粉使汤汁自然增稠、油亮橙黄，不用另加增稠剂。肉桂和一撮糖是标配调味，提升南瓜自身的甜度。这道菜在摩洛哥家庭秋天的餐桌上很常见，尤其周五午餐时，家家户户围着一大盘库斯库斯吃。南瓜是摩洛哥秋季市集上最便宜最丰富的蔬菜之一，买一个大南瓜能吃好几顿。
南瓜甜润，库斯库斯吸饱橙黄浓汤变得绵软，肉桂暖融。浇一勺汤在面上，甜咸不分。
南瓜在炖煮中细胞壁崩解，释出果胶和淀粉，使汤汁自然增稠成浓汤状，与南瓜派馅料凝固同理。肉桂的肉桂醛增强甜味感知而不加糖。库斯库斯本身是预煮的破碎小麦，在南瓜汤的蒸汽上蒸三遍即熟，吸足汤的甜味和色泽。塔吉锅或蒸笼的均匀蒸汽是关键，不可用大火猛蒸，否则库斯库斯外软内硬。

Ingredients
Serves 6How it's made
4 steps · 20 min
- 115 min
Steam 500g couscous in a couscoussiere, 3 passes.
Watch outSteam the couscous in gentle passes, not one fierce blast — even steam cooks the grains through evenly; too-high heat leaves them soft outside and hard in the middle.
- 210 min
Cook 800g cubed pumpkin with 1 onion, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp sugar, salt, water to cover, 25 min until pumpkin dissolves.
Watch outCook the pumpkin until it slumps and dissolves into the liquid — that collapse is what thickens the broth into a sweet pour-over; still-firm cubes won't give it body.
- 35 min
Mound couscous; ladle the pumpkin puree broth over the top.
- 42 min
Dust with cinnamon; serve.
