400 gram pumpkin, peeled, seeded, cut into 2cm pieces

2 zucchini, halved lengthwise, thickly sliced

1/4 cup vegetable or olive oil

500 gram lamb leg steaks

2 tablespoon moroccan spice mix

250 gram pearl couscous

2 green onions, thinly sliced diagonally

Method

1.Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced). Place pumpkin, zucchini and 1 tablespoon of the oil on a baking tray; toss to coat. Bake, stirring occasionally, for 25 minutes or until browned and tender.

2.Meanwhile, press lamb in spice mix to coat lightly. Heat 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil in a frying pan over high heat. Cook lamb, in batches, 2 minutes each side for medium, or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a heatproof board; rest 5 minutes. Slice. Reserve resting juices.

3.Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil; boil couscous 4 minutes, or until tender. Drain; transfer to a heatproof serving bowl. Add pumpkin, zucchini, sliced lamb, resting juices and remaining ingredients; toss to combine. Serve.

Try regular couscous instead of pearl couscous; prepare as packet directs. To make this dish gluten-free, you could use quinoa instead of couscous. Price will vary.
