INSTRUCTIONS
Bring ½ cup water and ¼ tsp salt to a boil in small saucepan. Add bulgur, remove from heat, cover, and set aside undisturbed to steam. In large nonstick skillet, toast hazelnuts and dukkah over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to small bowl, stir in lemon zest and a pinch of salt, and set aside. Wipe skillet clean.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in same skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in 2½ cups water, harissa, just 2 tsp ras el hanout, and chickpeas. Nestle squash in broth, sprinkle with olives and apricots, cover, and cook undisturbed until squash is tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
