Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. • Cut potato into bite-sized chunks. Slice onion (see ingredients) into wedges. Cut cauliflower into small florets. • Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks.
• Place potato, cauliflower and onion on a lined oven tray. • Sprinkle with garlic & herb seasoning, drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. • Remove veggies from oven and set aside to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing, until browned, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate to rest. • Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Toast Israeli couscous, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Half-fill the saucepan with boiling water. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, until tender, 10-12 minutes.
• Drain and return couscous to the pan with the salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine.
• In a large bowl, combine spinach & rocket mix, roasted veggies, couscous and basil pesto. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
TIP: Add the salad and roasted veggies to the couscous saucepan and toss everything together in there to save on washing up!
• Divide herby nourishing roast cauliflower and chicken couscous between bowls. • Sprinkle with almonds and drizzle over dill & parsley mayonnaise to serve. Enjoy!
