Instructions
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. • SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you're sensitive to heat! In a baking dish, combine pearl couscous, diced tomatoes with garlic & onion (see ingredients), chermoula spice blend, vegetable stock powder and the boiling water (11/2 cups for 2 people / 3 cups for 4 people). • Cover with foil and bake until couscous is 'al dente' and water is absorbed, 28-32 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut parsnip into wedges lengthways. • Place peeled pumpkin pieces and parsnip on a lined oven tray. Sprinkle over ras el hanout and drizzle with olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and toss to combine. • Roast until blistered and tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop silverbeet. Pick and thinly slice mint leaves. Slice lemon into wedges. Roughly chop roasted almonds. • In a small bowl, combine Greek-style yoghurt and mint. Season to taste. • When couscous has 5 minutes remaining, remove from oven then stir through silverbeet and return.
• Remove couscous from oven and add a squeeze of lemon juice, the butter and brown sugar and stir to combine. Season to taste. • Divide tomato couscous between bowls. • Top with roasted pumpkin and parsnip. • Sprinkle over almonds and top with a dollop of mint yoghurt. Serve with remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
TIP: Add a splash of water if the couscous looks dry.
