Cooking Steps

Roast the veggies
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan forced. Slice onion into wedges. Cut parsnip into bite-sized chunks. Cut beetroot into small chunks. • Place peeled pumpkin pieces on a lined oven tray. Place parsnip, beetroot and onion 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 feta (see ingredients) into a small bowl, then add Greek-style yoghurt. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.

Toss the salad
5

• To the couscous, add onion, parsnip and beetroot, parsley, lemon zest and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Stir to combine.

Finish & serve
6

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