Naturally sweet roasted pumpkin works a treat with the paprika, cumin, turmeric and pepper in our chermoula spice blend. It's even better with the roast veggie-loaded couscous salad - complete with crunchy flaked almonds, a dollop of herby chimichurri and a drizzle of smokey aioli, which you'd never know is plant-based! Farmers across Australia are still experiencing the impacts of the recent heavy rains. This is affecting our supply of fresh veggies and as such, you may notice some changes to your ingredients. Donāt worry, your recipe will be just as delicious!
