Turmeric couscous

  • 160 g couscous
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 vegetable stock cube
  • 250 ml hot water

Herb yoghurt

  • 200 g Glenilen Natural Yoghurt

Additional vegetables

  • 1 medium carrot, peeled
  • 0.25 head red cabbage, sliced

Method
 

  • For the chickpeas, preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan and line a baking tray with parchment
  • Drain and rinse the tinned chickpeas, pat dry in a kitchen cloth
  • Place these in a bowl with the cumin, chilli powder, oil and salt and mix well.
  • Scoop onto the lined tray and bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, giving them a shake at the halfway mark
  • Once baked, remove and set aside to cool
  • To make the couscous, dissolve one vegetable stock cube in the hot water
  • Place the couscous and turmeric into a bowl and pour the hot stock over it and mix to combine
  • Cover with clingfilm or a plate and set aside for 5 minutes
  • Once all the liquid has been absorbed, using a fork, fluff the couscous and its ready
  • To make the herb yoghurt, add the chopped herbs to the yoghurt, mix and keep cold until needed
  • To build the bowl, I added the spiced chickpeas, turmeric couscous, carrot shavings, finely sliced red cabbage, chopped cucumber & cherry tomatoes and finished off with the herb yoghurt and a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds
  • The best part about this recipe is, customise your own Buddha bowl & use your favourite vegetables
