Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. • In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Toast Israeli couscous, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Half-fill saucepan with boiling water, then add vegetable stock powder. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, until tender, 10-12 minutes. • Drain and return to the pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Cover to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, cut onion into wedges. • Place peeled pumpkin pieces, onion and chermoula spice blend on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.
• While the veggies are roasting, roughly chop mixed leaves. Zest lemon to get a pinch, then cut into wedges. Thinly slice cucumber into half-moons. Roughly chop roasted almonds. • In a small bowl, combine dill & parsley mayonnaise with a dash of water. Set aside. • In a second small bowl, combine the honey, lemon zest, a generous squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Season, then mix well.
• Add roasted veggies, mixed leaves, cucumber and honey dressing to the couscous. Toss to combine. • Pick and thinly slice herbs leaves. • Divide pumpkin and veggie Israeli couscous salad between bowls. • Top with herby mayo and crumble over cheese. • Garnish with almonds and herbs. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
