Chermoula Lentil & Couscous Bowl

with Almonds & Tahini Garlic Dressing

We love the tender texture of lentils and couscous; the nourishing grains and legumes are the perfect pair for handling bold flavours. Combine that with spiced and roasted veggies, tahini garlic dressing and fresh mint for a bowl to remember!

Keep an eye out... Due to recent sourcing challenges, we’ve replaced courgette with capsicum and baby spinach with parsley, which may be a little different to what’s pictured. Don’t worry, your recipe will be just as delicious!

Cooking Steps

1
1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut the carrot into thick half-moons. Slice capsicum into thin strips. Place the veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

While the veggies are roasting, drain and rinse the lentils. Thinly slice the red onion. Slice the lemon into wedges. Roughly chop the roasted almonds. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat. Cook the lentils and chermoula spice blend until fragrant and warmed through, 1-2 minutes. Add the butter and a drizzle of honey and cook, stirring, until melted, 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl.

Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the onion, stirring, until softened, 5-6 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, then add the balsamic vinegar, water (for the onion) and brown sugar and mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Set aside.

While the onion is cooking, add the water (for the couscous) and vegetable stock powder to a medium saucepan. Bring to the boil. Add the couscous and stir to combine. Cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Set aside until all the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.

While the couscous is cooking, roughly chop the parsley leaves. In a small bowl, combine the tahini and garlic dip. Set aside. To the cooked couscous, add the lentils, roasted veggies, parsley and a drizzle of olive oil and white wine vinegar. Stir to combine.

Divide the chermoula lentils and couscous between bowls. Top with the caramelised onion. Drizzle over the tahini garlic sauce. Tear over the mint leaves and garnish with the almonds to serve.
