Michael's recipe from the PETA Celebrity Cookbook:
Exotic Orange Curry
2 raw potatoes
3 carrots
1/2 red bell pepper
2 tbsp. curry powder or equal parts cumin, coriander, dill weed, turmeric, and black mustard seed.
1 tbsp. dried orange peel
pinch of red pepper flakes
pinch of sugar
pinch of salt
2 garlic cloves
2 tbsp. grated fresh ginger
olive oil
2 cups uncooked couscous
2 cups boiling water
mango chutney
toasted pumpkin seeds
dried pineapple
olive oil for sauteing
-----
Slice the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Saute 2/3 of the spices with the garlic and ginger in a small amount of olive oil. Add sliced vegetables and enough water to cook in but not enough to cover them. Simmer until tender. Add more spices, to taste, if desired. In a seperate pot, boil the water and soak the couscous in the boiling water, covered, until all the water is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Ladle the vegetable mixture over the couscous, then top with the chutney, pineapple, and pumpkin seeds.

That actually sounds quite good and I might try it sometime when I'm cooking for myself. (My family would never go for anything with chutney in it. Except for my older daughter everybody else has fairly bland taste - pretty normal.)
