Cooking Steps
Heat the oven to 200°C and prepare the stock in a pot or saucepan for the giant couscous. Meanwhile, chop the onion and dice the carrot. Wipe the mushrooms clean with kitchen paper and then slice them. Wash or peel the sweet potato, then dice into 1.5cm cubes.
Did you know... mushrooms are high in phosphorus, which works with calcium to strengthen bones and teeth. Phosphorus is mainly found in meat, fish and dairy, but along with mushrooms there are also other plant-based sources such as pulses and wholegrains.
Transfer the onion, mushroom, sweet potato and carrot to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes, tossing halfway.
Meanwhile, boil the giant couscous for 12 - 14 minutes, covered. Add a splash of water as necessary if the couscous becomes too dry. Stir to separate the grains and then set aside.
Heat a clean frying pan over high heat and toast the pumpkin seeds until they start to pop. Meanwhile, crumble the Greek-style cheese.
Transfer the roasted vegetables and giant couscous to a bowl. Add the white balsamic vinegar and the Peruvian spices, then mix well to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve the giant couscous and vegetables on plates, garnishing with the Greek-style cheese and the toasted pumpkin seeds.
