Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Place cauliflower and pumpkin in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1 tbs oil. Sprinkle with cumin, coriander, turmeric and cinnamon. Season. Toss to combine. Arrange over lined tray. Bake, turning occasionally, for 30 mins or until tender.
Step 2
Meanwhile, cook the couscous in a saucepan of boiling water for 5 mins or until just tender. Refresh under cold water. Drain well. Transfer to a bowl.
Step 3
Add cauliflower mixture to couscous with pomegranate or cranberries, orange juice, orange rind, mint and coriander. Drizzle with remaining oil. Season and toss to combine. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with fetta to serve.
Recipe tip
COOK. STORE. SAVE.
Use it up: Got some leftover pomegranate seeds? They complement both savoury and sweet dishes, such as our Pear & Pomegranate Tart.
Root-to-tip: Don’t toss out those cauliflower leaves – roast them with the cauliflower florets until crisp, then add to the salad.
