Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. • Cut eggplant into 1cm chunks. • Place on a lined oven tray. Sprinkle over Nan's special seasoning, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. Thinly slice radish. Slice tomato and lemon into wedges. Pick and finely chop mint leaves. Cut halloumi into 1cm-thick slices. • To a small microwave-safe bowl, add garlic and a drizzle of olive oil and microwave in 10 second bursts, until fragrant. • To a large bowl, add couscous and vegetable stock powder. • Add the boiling water (3/4 cup for 2P / 1 1/2 cups for 4P) and stir to combine. Immediately cover with plate and leave for 5 minutes. • Fluff up with fork and set aside. • Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook halloumi until golden brown, 1-2 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate.
• In a small bowl, combine mint, Greek-style yoghurt and a splash of water. Season to taste and set aside. • When the eggplant is done, add the honey and toss to combine. • To the couscous, add garlic oil, radish, tomato, mixed salad leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice. Toss to combine and season to taste.
• Divide couscous between bowls. • Top with smokey roast eggplant and halloumi. • Drizzle over mint yoghurt dressing. Garnish with slivered almonds. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
