Cooking Steps

Roast the pumpkin
1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. 
• In a medium bowl, place haloumi and cover with 
water to soak.
• Cut pumpkin into 1cm-thick wedges.
• Place pumpkin on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with 
olive oil, sprinkle with Nan’s special seasoning, 
season with salt and toss to coat.
• Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. 
TIP: Peel the pumpkin if you prefer and scrape out 
the seeds, if necessary! 

Roast the Brussels sprouts
2

• Meanwhile, halve Bambino Brussels sprouts.
• Place Brussels sprouts on a second lined oven 
tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and 
pepper and toss to coat.
• Arrange cut-side down and roast until tender, 
12-15 minutes. 
TIP: The Brussels sprouts will char slightly, this adds 
to the flavour! 

Make the pearl couscous
3

• While the veggies are roasting, in a large 
saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over 
medium-high heat.
• Toast pearl couscous, stirring occasionally, until 
golden, 1-2 minutes.
• Carefully half-fill the saucepan with water, then 
add a pinch of salt. Simmer, uncovered, until 
tender, 14-16 minutes.
• Drain, rinse and return to the pan. Add stock 
concentrate and a drizzle of olive oil, tossing to 
coat. Allow to cool slightly.

Cook the haloumi
4

• When the couscous is done, drain haloumi and 
pat dry. Cut haloumi into 1cm-thick slices.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil
over medium-high heat.
• Cook haloumi until golden brown, 1-2 minutes
each side.

Bring it all together
5

• To the saucepan with couscous, add roasted 
veggies, spinach & rocket mix and mustard
cider dressing (see ingredients).
• Gently toss to combine. Season to taste.

Finish & serve
6

• Divide Bambino Brussels sprout and roast 
pumpkin pearl couscous between bowls.
• Top with haloumi and drizzle over creamy pesto 
dressing to serve. Enjoy!
