Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut carrot and zucchini into bite-sized chunks. • Cut red onion into wedges. • Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle over Aussie spice blend. Season with salt and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add couscous. • Add the boiling water (3/4 cup for 2 people / 11/2 cups for 4 people) and butter, stirring to combine. • Immediately cover with a plate and leave for 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and set aside.
• When the veggies have 5 minutes remaining, in a medium bowl, combine Nan's special seasoning, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of pepper. Add prawns, tossing to coat. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook prawns, tossing, until pink and starting to curl up, 3-4 minutes. • Remove from heat and add the honey, tossing to coat.
• To the bowl of couscous, place baby spinach leaves, roasted veggies, a drizzle of the white wine vinegar and olive oil. • Toss to combine and season to taste. • Divide roast veggie couscous salad between bowls. • Top with spiced prawns and a dollop of garlic aioli to serve. Enjoy!
