Cooking Steps

Roast the veggies
1

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Chop the cauliflower into small florets. Cut the sweet potato (unpeeled) into 2cm chunks. Place the sweet potato and cauliflower onto an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Roast for 20 minutes, then remove the tray from the oven. Sprinkle over the flaked almonds and roast until sweet potato is tender and almonds are golden, 4-5 minutes.

TIP: Cut the veggies to the correct size so they cook in the allocated time.

Cook the chorizo
2

While the veggies are roasting, roughly chop the mild chorizo. In large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook until golden, 7-8 minutes. Transfer to a plate, leaving the residual chorizo oil in the pan.

Cook the pearl couscous
3

While the chorizo is cooking, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add the pearl couscous and toast, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. Add the water (for the couscous) and crumbled vegetable stock (1 cube for 2 people / 2 cubes for 4 people). Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the couscous is tender and the water has been absorbed, 10-12 minutes.

Make the caramelised onion
4

While the couscous is cooking, thinly slice the red onion. Return the large frying pan to a medium-high heat with the residual chorizo oil in the pan. Add the onion and cook, stirring regularly until softened, 5-6 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar, water (for the onion) and brown sugar and mix to combine. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes.

Bring everything together
5

While the onion is cooking, roughly chop the parsley and baby spinach leaves. Zest the lemon to get a pinch and cut into wedges. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yoghurt, lemon zest, a pinch of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. In a large bowl, combine the pearl couscous, spinach, caramelised onions, chorizo, roast veggies, flaked almonds, a squeeze of lemon juice and 1/2 the parsley. Season to taste.

Serve up
6

Divide the chorizo and roast veggie couscous toss between bowls. Drizzle over the lemon yoghurt and sprinkle with the remaining parsley. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
