Garlicky Pumpkin, Chicken & Veggie Couscous
with Plant-Based Pesto & Almonds
With a slightly sweet and nutty flavour, pumpkin and chicken provides a lovely contrast to our rich and savoury garlic and herb seasoning in this delightful dish. The fluffy couscous and bright plant-based basil pesto also up the ante.
We’ve replaced the pearl couscous in this recipe with couscous due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!

Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Slice pumpkin into thin wedges. • Place pumpkin on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic & herb seasoning and season with salt. Toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: Peel the pumpkin, if you prefer!
• Meanwhile, slice red onion into wedges. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • Cut cauliflower (including the stalk!) into small florets. • Roughly chop walnuts. Set aside.
• Place snacking tomatoes, onion and cauliflower on a second lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. • Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine plant-based pesto and plant-based mayonnaise. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the water and vegetable stock pot and bring to the boil. • Add couscous and stir to combine. Cover with a lid and remove from heat. • Set aside until the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with fork.
• When the couscous is ready, add roasted tomatoes, cauliflower, onion and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar to the pan. • Toss to coat and season to taste.
• Divide veggie pearl couscous between bowls. Top with garlicky roast pumpkin and chicken. Dollop with plant-based mayo. • Drizzle with plant-based basil pesto and sprinkle with chopped walnuts to serve. Enjoy!
