Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut the red kumara (unpeeled) into 1cm chunks. Cut the capsicum into 2cm chunks. Place the veggies on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then add a dash of water to the tray and roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: Cut the veggies to size so they cook in time.
While the veggies are roasting, finely chop the garlic. Roughly chop the baby spinach leaves. Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the flaked almonds and toast, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook 1/2 the garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer the garlic oil to a medium bowl, then add the Greek-style yoghurt and stir to combine. Season to taste and set aside.
Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the beef mince, breaking it up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes. Add the tomato paste (see ingredients), ras el hanout, a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) and the remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water (for the sauce) and beef-style stock powder and simmer until thickened slightly, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat, then stir through the roasted veggies. Season to taste.
While the beef is cooking, add the water (for the couscous) and chicken-style stock powder to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. Add the couscous and 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, then stir through the baby spinach, a drizzle of white wine vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste.
Divide the couscous and ras el hanout beef and veggies between bowls. Top with the garlic yoghurt and sprinkle with the toasted almonds.
