Cooking Steps

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Cut carrot into bite-sized chunks. Cut brown onion and tomato into thick wedges. Cut beetroot into small chunks. • Place prepped veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two trays.

TIP: Beetroot stays firm when cooked. It's done when you can pierce it with a fork.

• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. • In a small bowl, combine creamy pesto dressing and the water (for the dressing). Set aside. • In a medium bowl, combine garlic & herb seasoning, lemon pepper seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Add pork strips, tossing to coat. Set aside.

Little cooks: Take charge by combining the pesto and the water!

• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the water (for the couscous) and chicken-style stock powder, then bring to the boil. • Add couscous and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine, then cover with a lid. Remove from heat. Set aside until water is absorbed, 5 minutes.

• Fluff up couscous with a fork. • Gently stir in roasted veggies. Cover to keep warm.

Little cooks: Under adult supervision, help fluff up the couscous once the pan has cooled down. Be careful, it will still be hot!

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, cook pork, in batches, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. • Remove from heat.

TIP: Pork can be served slightly blushing pink in the centre.

• Divide roast veggie couscous between bowls. • Top with Mediterranean pork. • Sprinkle with flaked almonds. Drizzle with the creamy pesto to serve. Enjoy!

Little cooks: Add the finishing touches by sprinkling the almonds and drizzling the pesto on top!
