Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

Boil a kettle

Heat a dry pot over a medium heat

Once hot, add your pumpkin seeds and cook for 2-3 min or until toasted and lightly golden (watch them like a hawk to make sure they don't burn!)

Once toasted, transfer to a bowl and set aside until serving (reserve the pot!) – these are your toasted pumpkin seeds

Step 1
2.

Add your giant couscous and butternut squash cubes to the reserved pot with plenty of boiled water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Cook for 8 min or until the couscous and squash are tender with a slight bite, then drain and set aside (reserve the pot!)

Step 2
3.

While the couscous is cooking, wash your lettuce, then pat it dry with kitchen paper and roughly shred

Drain and rinse your chickpeas

Step 3
4.

Crumble your Greek cheese into rough bite-sized pieces

Combine the crumbled Greek cheese with your natural yoghurt and a pinch of pepper in a bowl – this is your Greek cheese yoghurt

Step 4
5.

Add your red wine vinegar to a bowl with half your harissa paste (you'll use the rest later!) a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of sugar and stir it all together – this is your harissa dressing

Step 5
6.

Return the reserved pot to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil

Once hot, add the drained chickpeas with your roasted garlic paste and remaining harissa paste (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and cook for 1-2 min or until fragrant

Step 6
7.

Once fragrant, add the cooked couscous & butternut squash to the pot with your vegetable stock mix and give everything a good mix up until everything is coated in the harissa

Once coated, remove the pot from the heat and add the chopped lettuce with a pinch of salt and toss – this is your warm harissa chickpea & giant couscous salad

Step 7
