Instructions

Roast the Sweet Potato
1

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

b) Chop the sweet potato into 1cm chunks (no need to peel).

c) Pop the sweet potato chunks onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.

d) Roast on the top shelf until golden and tender, 18-20 mins. Turn halfway through cooking.

Get Prepped
2

a) In the meantime, juice the orange.

b) Halve the baby plum tomatoes. 

c) Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).

d) Drain the halloumi, then cut it into 6 slices.

Boil the Couscous
3

a) When the sweet potato has 16 mins remaining in the oven, bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil with 0.5 tsp salt for the pearl couscous. Stir in the vegetable stock paste.

b) Add the pearl couscous to the boiling water, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until tender with a slight bite, 14-15 mins.

Cook the Halloumi
4

a) While the pearl couscous boils, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.

b) Once hot, add the halloumi and fry until golden, 2-3 mins each side.

c) Add half the orange juice and half the honey (see pantry for amount). Turn to coat and glaze the halloumi, 1-2 mins.

Finish the Couscous
5

a) Once the couscous has cooked, drain it in a sieve. 

b) Return the couscous to the pan (off the heat) and add the remaining orange juice and honey, the tomatoes, rocket, half the coriander and the olive oil (see pantry for amount). Stir to mix through. 

c) When the sweet potato is cooked, mix it through the couscous salad. Season with salt and pepper.

Finish and Serve
6

a) Share the pearl couscous salad between 2 serving bowls and drizzle over the Greek style yoghurt.

b) Top with the halloumi slices and drizzle over any remaining honey-orange glaze from the pan.

c) Sprinkle over the remaining coriander to finish.

Enjoy!
