Preparation
1
Get Prepped

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Halve, peel and chop the onion into wedges.
  • Add chickpeas, onion and butternut squash to a lined baking tray. 
  • Toss with Middle Eastern spice, salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil. Spread out in a single layer.
  • Roast on the top shelf of the oven until squash is soft and chickpeas are crunchy, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through. 

TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

2
Cook the Couscous

  • Meanwhile, add the couscous to a bowl.
  • Make a stock by dissolving the muscat in 200ml boiling water (500ml for 4p). 
  • Pour the stock into the bowl with the couscous, cover with a plate or cling film and leave aside for 10 mins.

TIP: If you're in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

3
Toast the Seeds

  • While the couscous cooks, place a pan over medium heat (without oil).
  • Once hot, add the sesame seeds and dry-fry, shifting regularly, until lightly toasted, 2-3 mins
  • Remove from the pan and set aside. 

TIP: Watch them like a hawk as they can burn easily.

4
Make the Dressing

  • In a large bowl, mix the yoghurt, harissa paste and half the sesame seeds.
  • Stir to combine then season to taste with salt and pepper.

TIP: If cooking for kids, you can use less harissa to reduce the heat.

5
Assemble the Salad

  • Fluff up the couscous with a fork.
  • Mix the couscous through the dressing.
  • Carefully stir through the roasted onion, butternut squash and crispy chickpeas.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.

6
Garnish and Serve

  • Divide the adorned couscous between bowls.
  • Crumble over the Greek Style Cheese
  • Garnish with the remaining sesame seeds and a drizzle of honey.
