Heat the olive oil in the bottom of a couscoussier. Add the onions, tomatoes, meat if using, turmeric, ginger, black pepper, salt, coriander, and parsley. Cook for about 10 minutes until the onions are softened and fragrant.
Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Add the carrots, potatoes, and chickpeas. Cover and simmer for about 25 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Place the couscous in the steamer basket and steam it over the simmering sauce for about 15–20 minutes until fluffy.
Add the zucchini and pumpkin to the sauce and continue cooking until all the vegetables and meat are tender.
Remove the couscous, fluff it with a fork, and mix it with a little olive oil and a pinch of salt. Steam it again for another 10–15 minutes until fully cooked.
