Cooking Steps
• Cut carrot into thick half-moons. Cut white turnip into bite-sized chunks. Slice onion into wedges. Pick and finely chop rosemary (see ingredients). • Set your air fryer to 200°C. Place veggies into the air fryer basket and drizzle over olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 10 minutes. • Shake the basket, add slivered almonds and rosemary, then cook until golden, a further 10-15 minutes. TIP: No air fryer? Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Place veggies on a lined oven tray, drizzle with olive oil and season. Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. When the veggies have 3-4 minutes remaining, add slivered almonds to one side of the tray and sprinkle rosemary over veggies. Toast until golden.
• While the veggies are cooking, boil the kettle. • In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Toast Israeli couscous, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Half-fill saucepan with boiling water, then add a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, until tender, 10-12 minutes. • Drain, then return couscous to the pan, along with chicken-style stock powder and a drizzle of olive oil.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop silverbeet. • Slice pork loin steaks into 1cm strips. • In a large bowl, combine garlic & herb seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Add pork and toss to coat.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook pork strips in batches, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook silverbeet until tender, 3-4 minutes. • Transfer silverbeet to the saucepan of couscous, along with the roasted veggies and a drizzle of white wine vinegar. Stir to combine and season to taste.
• Divide roast veggie couscous between bowls, then top with herby pork strips. • Dollop over dill & parsley mayonnaise. • Sprinkle with toasted almonds to serve. Enjoy!
