Cooking Steps

Roast the veggies
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan forced. 
• Slice onion (see ingredients) into wedges. 
• Cut parsnip into bite-sized chunks. 
• Cut beetroot into small chunks. 
• Place peeled pumpkin pieces on a lined oven 
tray. Place onion, parsnip and beetroot on a 
second lined oven tray. 
• Sprinkle with Middle Eastern seasoning, drizzle 
with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. 
Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between 
two trays.

Cook the couscous
2

• While the veggies are roasting, boil the kettle. 
• In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil
over medium-high heat. Toast pearl 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 and return to the pan with vegetable 
stock powder and a drizzle of olive oil. 

Get prepped
3

• While the couscous is cooking, roughly chop parsley. • Zest lemon to get a good pinch, then slice into wedges.

Make the feta yoghurt
4

• Crumble cow's milk feta into a small bowl, then 
add Greek-style yoghurt. Season with salt and 
pepper and stir to combine. 

Toss the salad
5

• In a large bowl, combine couscous, onion, 
parsnip, beetroot, parsley, lemon zest and a 
good squeeze of lemon juice.

Finish & serve
6

• Divide Middle Eastern veggie pearl couscous 
between bowls. 
• Top with feta yoghurt and roasted pumpkin 
pieces. Serve with any remaining lemon 
wedges. Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Good dish that could benefit from more spices to enhance the overall taste.
  • Ease of prep: Cooking time was longer than expected for some customers.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding more yoghurt to the feta mixture for extra moisture and creaminess.
