Couscous with roasted vegetables



250gms (1 cup) couscous
1 cup boiling water
Vegetable (vegeta gourmet) stock
Olive oil
3 tsp butter

1/4 pumpkin
2 carrots
1 onion
1 red bell pepper (capsicum)
1 orange sweet potato (Kumera)
1 zucchini
a small amount of diced apricots and sultanas (are a nice option)



I add some roasted vegetable. Peel and cut into chunks some pumpkin, carrots, onions, sweet potato, Zucchini and Red Capsicum (Bell Pepper), put into a plastic bag together with a little olive oil (about a tsp or two). Shake and put on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake @ 200 for about 30 mins depending on the size of the pieces.

While the vegetables are cooking prepare the couscous:

In a bowl put 1 tbs olive oil, 1 tsp vegeta gourmet stock, 250ml boiling water.
Add 250 gms couscous, stir and let sit for 2 mins. Add 2-3tsp butter and separate with a fork to make it fluffy.

Toss the vegetables through the Couscous.
Garnish with Coriander, greek yoghurt and lemon.

I served this with some lamb...but you can eat it as it is.

For the lamb: just roast a small piece of leg meat or shoulder or cook a couple of chops.
