Vegetable couscous recipe
Ingredients: 8
Prep Time: 15
Cooking time: 1 hour
Oven temp: 180ºC
Ingredients:
1 cup of couscous
1 T olive oil, plus extra
1 cup butternut, cubed
1 cup baby marrow, sliced in circles
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
Ina Paarman's Rosemary and Olive spice
100 g feta cheese, cubed
Fresh rocket to serve
Instructions:
1. Place the couscous in a pot, add the olive oil and pour boiling water over – just enough to cover the couscous. Close the lid and let it rest.
2. Place the cubed butternut in a large roasting pan and toss with some extra olive oil. Sprinkle with the Ina Paarman's spice and bake in the oven until the butternut has crispy edges.
3. Remove the butternut, and do the same with the baby marrows. They will cook much faster as they are a softer vegetable.
4. Fluff the couscous with a fork, add the vegetables and feta, and toss lightly.
5. Serve with extra olive oil and rocket.
