Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 220°/200°C fan-forced. • Cut parsnip into small chunks. • Place parsnip and peeled pumpkin pieces on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. • Remove tray from the oven and allow veggies to cool slightly.

2

• Meanwhile, combine chermoula spice blend and the salt in a large bowl. Add chicken thigh and turn to coat. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 14-16 minutes. • In the last 2 minutes of cook time, add the honey and turn chicken to coat. Remove from heat.

3

• While the chicken is cooking, finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the water, currants (see ingredients) and chicken-style stock powder and bring to the boil. Add couscous and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine, cover with a lid and remove from heat. Set aside until all the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.

4

• While the couscous is cooking, roughly chop baby spinach leaves. Zest lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. • In a small bowl, combine Greek-style yoghurt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste and set aside.

5

• In a second large bowl, combine couscous, roasted veggies, baby spinach and lemon zest. Season to taste.

6

• Slice Moroccan-style honey chicken. • Divide roast veggie couscous between bowls and top with chicken. • Dollop with lemon yoghurt to serve. Enjoy!
