Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Preheat BBQ to high heat. Boil the kettle. • Zest lemon to get a pinch and slice in half. • In a small bowl, combine Greek-style yoghurt and lemon zest. Season to taste.

Start the couscous
2

• In a medium bowl, add couscous and chicken-style stock powder. • Add the boiling water (3/4 cup for 2 people / 11/2 cups for 4 people) and stir to combine. Immediately cover with plate and leave for 5 minutes. • Fluff up with a fork and set aside.

Barbeque the pumpkin
3

• Spread peeled pumpkin pieces over a microwave-safe plate. Cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave pumpkin on high, 5 minutes. • Drain any excess liquid. Brush both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. • When BBQ is hot, grill pumpkin, until browned and tender, 4-5 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate, drizzle over the honey and set aside. No BBQ? Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Place peeled pumpkin pieces on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

Barbeque the chorizo

• Meanwhile, grill mild chorizo until charred and cooked through, 4-6 minutes either side. • Grill lemon, cut side down, until charred, 2-3 minutes. No BBQ? Roughly chop mild chorizo. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook chorizo until golden, 8 minutes. No BBQ? Heat a large frying pan over high heat and cook lemon, cut side down, until charred, 1-2 minutes.
