Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce.
Toss squash with 1 tsp Moroccan Spice Blend and 1 tbsp oil (dbl both for 4 ppl) on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Roast in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway through cooking, until golden-brown and tender, 22-24 min.
While squash roasts, peel, then mince or grate garlic. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add almonds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to the same pan, then the onions.Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2-3 min. Add garlic and Harissa Spice Blend. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec. Transfer harissa spiced onions to a small bowl.
Toss together the harissa spiced onions, spinach, 1tbsp oil (dbl for 4ppl), half the raisins and half the almonds in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Divide salad between plates and top with roasted squash and ground pork. Crumble over feta and sprinkle with remaining raisins and remaining almonds.
