Ingredients
- 1 courgette cut into rounds
- 1 aubergine cut into rounds
- 4 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon ras el hanout
- 30 g pistachios
- 130 g couscous
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 lemon zest and juice
- 1½ teaspoon runny honey
- 125 g cherry tomatoes halved
- 100 g feta
- 10 g mint roughly chopped
- 20 g rocket
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C Fan.
- Drizzle the aubergine and courgette slices with olive oil and toss with ras el hanout and a pinch of generous salt in a large bowl.
- Add the aubergine and courgette rounds onto a large baking-parchment lined baking tray.
- Place the vegetables in the centre of the oven for 20 min until tender.
- In the meantime toast the pistachio kernels in a dry frying pan for a few minutes, until slightly browned. Remove them from the pan, let them cool slightly, then chop up roughly.
- Add couscous to a large bowl. Pour 200ml of boiling water over the couscous, cover with a large plate and leave to stand for 7-8 minutes. Then fluff it up using a fork and cover to keep warm.
- In the meantime, make the dressing by mixing the minced garlic, honey, lemon juice, zest and 3 tablespoon of olive oil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once the vegetables and couscous are ready, mix the couscous with rocket, cherry tomatoes, mint and half of the feta and half of the honey-lemon dressing.
- Spoon the couscous mixture into bowls, top with the roasted vegetables and garnish with the pistachio nuts and the rest of the feta. Drizzle the remaining dressing all over the roasted vegetables!
