Tonight's dish is all about the pumpkin; roast it with a good sprinkle of Middle Eastern seasoning, then finish it with a drizzle of honey for the perfect balance of sweetness and spice. The yoghurt adds a lovely creaminess and contrast of flavours, with a subtle saltiness and tang from the fetta.

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan forced. • Cut pumpkin into thin wedges. • Slice zucchini into half-moons. • Cut red onion into thin wedges. • Finely chop garlic and mint (see ingredients).
• Place pumpkin on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with ras el hanout and season with salt. Toss to coat, then set aside. • Place zucchini and onion on a second lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with chermoula spice blend and season with salt. Toss to coat. • Roast veggies until tender, 20-25 minutes. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, cook beef strips, tossing, in batches until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate. TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over a high heat helps it stay tender.
• Meanwhile, heat a medium saucepan over medium heat with half the butter and a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add basmati rice, the water and a generous pinch of salt. Stir, then bring to the boil. • Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat. Keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, place remaining garlic and the remaining butter in a medium heatproof bowl. Microwave in 10 second bursts until fragrant. • Crumble in fetta cubes and mash to combine. Stir in Greek-style yoghurt.
• Stir baby spinach leaves and roasted zucchini and onion through the garlic rice.
• Drizzle the honey over roasted pumpkin. • Divide roast veggie rice toss between plates. Top with Chermoula-spiced pumpkin and beef. • Dollop over garlic-fetta yoghurt. Sprinkle with pepitas and mint to serve. Enjoy!
