Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Slice the red onion and tomato into 2cm wedges. Cut the carrot (unpeeled) into 1cm half-moons. Cut the parsnip (unpeeled) into 2cm chunks. Place the veggies on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer and roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: Cut the veggies to size so they cook in time. TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.
While the veggies are roasting, add the water and chicken-style stock powder to a medium saucepan. Bring to the boil over a medium-high heat. Add the couscous, currants and a drizzle of olive oil. 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 and set aside, uncovered.
While the couscous is cooking, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the walnuts and toast, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Finely chop the parsley leaves. Zest the lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. Roughly chop the spinach & rocket mix. In a second small bowl, combine the Greek-style yoghurt, lemon zest and 1/2 the parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the ras el hanout and the salt, then season with pepper. Add the pork loin steaks and toss to coat. Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, cook the pork until cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side (depending on thickness). Remove the pan from the heat, then add the honey and a squeeze of lemon juice. Turn the pork to coat and transfer to a plate to rest. TIP: Pork can be served slightly blushing pink in the centre.
In a second large bowl, add the roasted veggies, spinach & rocket, couscous and a squeeze of lemon juice. Gently toss to combine and season to taste. TIP: Toss the veggies in the saucepan with the couscous if you want to save on dirty dishes!
Slice the Moroccan-style pork. Divide the roast veggie couscous between bowls. Top with the pork and any resting juices. Drizzle over the herby yoghurt. Garnish with the toasted walnuts and remaining parsley. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
