Garlicky Pumpkin, Haloumi & Veggie Pearl Couscous

with Plant-Based Pesto & Walnuts

With a slightly sweet and nutty flavour, pumpkin & haloumi provides a lovely contrast to our rich and savoury garlic and herb seasoning in this delightful dish. The doughy pearl couscous and bright plant-based basil pesto also up the ante.

Cooking Steps

Roast the pumpkin
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
• Slice pumpkin into thin wedges.
• Place pumpkin on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with 
olive oil, sprinkle with garlic & herb seasoning 
and season with salt. Toss to coat.
• Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. 


TIP: Peel the pumpkin, if you prefer!

Prep the veggies
2

• Meanwhile, cut haloumi into 1cm-thick slices. In a medium bowl, add haloumi and cover with water. Set aside. Slice onion into wedges. 

• Cut cauliflower (including the stalk!) into small 
florets.
• Roughly chop walnuts. Set aside. 

Roast the veggies
3

• Place snacking tomatoes, onion and 
cauliflower on a second lined oven tray. Drizzle 
with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. 
• Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. 

Cook the pearl couscous & haloumi
4

• Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat 
with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Toast pearl couscous, stirring occasionally, until 
golden, 1-2 minutes.
• Carefully add the water and stock concentrate. 
Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, until 
couscous tender and water is absorbed, 
10-12 minutes. 

• Drain haloumi and pat dry.

• When the couscous has 5 minutes cook time remaining, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook haloumi until golden brown, 1-2 minutes each side. Remove pan from heat.

Bring it all together
5

• When the couscous is ready, add roasted 
tomatoes, cauliflower, onion and a drizzle of 
balsamic vinegar to the pan.
• Toss to coat and season to taste with salt
and pepper

Finish & serve
6

• Divide veggie pearl couscous between bowls. 
Top with garlicky pumpkin and haloumi.
• Drizzle with plant-based basil pesto and 
sprinkle with chopped walnuts to serve. Enjoy!
