Mediterranean Pearl Couscous

with Roasted Chickpeas & Fetta

We feel like chickpeas tonight! That’s why we roasted these little beauties in a tasty, smoked paprika mix and served them on a bed of golden, roasted veg. With its topping of creamy, luscious fetta, you’ll understand why we’re obsessed with this bowl of goodness.

Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Slice the red onion into 2cm wedges. Cut the zucchini into 2cm chunks. TIP: Cut the veggies to the correct size so they cook in the allocated time.

Roast the veggies
2

Place the garlic, cherry tomatoes, red onion and zucchini on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast on the middle rack of the oven for 20-25 minutes or until tender.

Roast the chickpeas
3

While the veggies are roasting, drain and rinse the chickpeas. On the second oven tray lined with baking paper, toss together the chickpeas, smoked paprika, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast on the top rack for 15-20 minutes or until golden and slightly crispy. In the last 5 minutes of cook time, add the walnuts to the oven tray with the chickpeas and roast until golden. TIP: For the low calorie option, use just 1/2 the walnuts!

Prep the lemon and parsley
4

While the chickpeas are roasting, bring the water (see ingredients list) to the boil in a medium saucepan. Cut the lemon into wedges. Finely chop the parsley.

Mix the couscous
5

Add the pearl couscous to the saucepan of boiling water. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until just tender. Add the roast veggies and parsley to the saucepan. Drizzle with a little olive oil, add the salt (see ingredients list) and season with a pinch of pepper. Gently toss to combine.

Serve Up
6

Divide the Mediterranean pearl couscous between bowls and top with the roasted chickpeas and walnuts. Crumble over the fetta and serve with lemon wedges.
