When we first tried this bright burst of goodness, we all agreed it had that ‘hug in a bowl’ kind of feeling. There’s wholesome chickpeas, sweet potato and kale, plus a sublime, lightly spiced and coconut sauce that soaks into the couscous. Plate up and enjoy! We’ve replaced the green beans in this recipe with capsicum due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Roast the sweet potato
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. 
• Cut sweet potato into bite-sized chunks. 
• Place sweet potato on a lined oven tray.
• Drizzle generously with olive oil, season with 
salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread out 
evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. 

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, boil the kettle.
• Finely chop garlic.
• Tear kale leaves from stems, then discard stems.
• Thinly slice capsicum.
• Drain chickpeas. 

Cook the couscous
3

• In a medium heatproof bowl, add couscous and 
half the vegetable stock. Add the boiling water
(3/4 cup for 2 people / 11/2 cups for 4 people) and 
stir to combine.
• Immediately cover with plate and leave for
5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and set aside. 

Start the medley
4

• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat 
with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook capsicum and 
chickpeas, stirring occasionally, until softened, 
3-4 minutes. 
• Add garlic, chermoula spice blend and kale and 
cook until kale is wilted, 1 minute.

Bring it all together
5

• To the pan, add passata, the remaining 
vegetable stock and coconut milk, stirring to 
combine, then bring to the boil. 
• Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until 
slightly reduced, 5-6 minutes.

with pepper. 

Finish & serve

medley. Sprinkle over flaked almonds and chilli
