Cooking Instructions and Tips

1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

b) Boil a full kettle.

c) Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.

d) Halve any large cauliflower florets.

2

a) Pop the pepper onto one side of a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.

b) Add the cauliflower florets to the other side of the tray. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle over the roasted spice and herb blend, then toss to coat.

c) Spread the veg out in a single layer.

d) When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until soft and slightly charred, 15-18 mins.

3

a) Meanwhile, put the couscous in a medium bowl.

b) Pour in the boiled water for the couscous (see pantry for amount), stir in the vegetable stock paste, then cover tightly with cling film.

c) Leave to the side for 10 mins or until ready to serve.

d) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

e) Once hot, add the chicken to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Fry until golden brown on the outside and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

4

a) Once the couscous is ready, fluff up the grains with a fork.

b) Stir through the zhoug (use less if you'd prefer things milder).

5

a) Once the veg has roasted, stir the pepper through the zhoug couscous.

6

a) Share your zhoug and pepper couscous between your bowls.

b) Top with the roasted cauliflower and chicken and drizzle over the yoghurt.

c) Finish with a scattering of toasted almonds and crumble over the Greek style salad cheese to finish.
