Preparation
1
Get Prepped

  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a sieve.
  • Pop the chickpeas and butternut squash onto a lined baking tray. 
  • Toss with a drizzle of oil, ground coriander, salt and pepper then spread out in a single layer.
  • When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until the butternut squash is soft and the chickpeas are crunchy, 20-25 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 tightly 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, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
  • 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.

5
Assemble the Salad

  • Fluff up the couscous with a fork.
  • Mix the couscous through the dressing along with the chopped onion.
  • Carefully stir through the roasted 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.
