Moroccan-style bake
SERVES 4
SUITABLE FOR FREEZING
Spices, herbs, root vegetables and pomegranate come together in this flavoursome bake. I love this combination of vegetables for a hearty supper, but you can also switch it up with aubergine, cauliflower and cherry tomatoes. Serve with couscous and a spoonful of plain soya yogurt.
2 generous tbsp sunflower oil
1 tsp harissa paste
1 tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp ground turmeric
1 small butternut squash, deseeded and cut into bite-sized cubes
1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks
2 small red onions, peeled and quartered
1 carrot, peeled and sliced into rounds
handful of dried apricots
1 unwaxed lemon, quartered
1 x 400g (14oz) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
small handful of flat-leaf parsley
seeds of ½ pomegranate
1 tbsp shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
generous pinch of sea salt
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.
In a deep roasting pan, whisk together the oil, harissa, cumin and turmeric. Tip in the butternut squash, sweet potato, onions, carrot and apricots and toss to coat in the oil. Add the quartered lemon, then roast in the oven for 30 minutes.
Carefully remove the roasting pan from the oven and tip in the chickpeas, then return to the oven for a further 10 minutes.
Remove the roasting pan from the oven and scatter with the parsley, pomegranate seeds and pistachios. Season to taste with salt, then serve.
E A S Y T I P: Use the remaining half of the pomegranate for my chickpea and olive orzo bake (page 92).
