Ingredients

Chermoula Roasted pumpkin

  • 500 g pumpkin- deseeded, peeled and cut into 2-3cm cubes
  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic- minced
  • 2 tbsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp ginger- minced
  • 1 tsp cayenne chilli powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Cous Cous salad

  • 1 red onion- roughly sliced
  • 200 g pearl cous cous- dried
  • 1 vegetable stock cube
  • 3 tbsp toasted pepitas/pumpkin seeds
  • 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds
  • 1 handful fresh parsley- roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp dukkah blend
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp argan oil

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 220°C
  • Combine all of the spices in a bowl. Add the pumpkin and olive oil, and toss until the pumpkin is evenly coated. Spread the cubed pumpkin out onto a baking tray, and roast for 30-40 minutes or until tender and golden
  • In the meantime, slice the onions and set them aside. Add the onions to the baking tray after the pumpkin has been roasting for 20 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the stock cube and stir to dissolve. Add the pearl cous cous and cook according to the packet instructions; time will vary depending on the size of the cous cous
  • Once cooked, drain the cous cous and combine with the roast pumpkin and onions. Add the pepitas, pomegranate seeds, parsley and dukkah and roughly toss until the ingredients have combined.
  • Serve into a serving bowl, and dress with a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of argan oil. Serve warm
