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, parsnip, 
beetroot and onion on a lined oven tray.
• Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with Middle 
Eastern seasoning, 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, heat a large 
saucepan over medium-high heat with a 
drizzle of olive oil. Toast pearl couscous (see 
ingredients), stirring occasionally, until golden, 
1-2 minutes.
• Carefully half-fill saucepan with 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 another 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

• In a small bowl, crumble cow’s milk feta (see 
ingredients), then add Greek-style yoghurt. 
• Season with salt and pepper and stir 
to combine. 

Toss the salad
5

• To the couscous, add roasted veggies, 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. Serve with any remaining 
lemon wedges. Enjoy!
