Print Recipe

Method

Place sweet potato, capsicum, onion, bacon and garlic in a baking dish.  Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper and stir until well coated.  Bake at 200°C for 20-30 minutes or until tender.  Place couscous in a saucepan with a teaspoon of salt and add boiling water.  Stir, cover and allow to stand for 5 minutes or until the water has been absorbed and the couscous is tender.  Add a little oil and stir with a fork to loosen grains.  Allow to cool.  Toss the roasted vegetables into the couscous and dress with olive oil, vinegar and season to taste.  Stir in half the coriander and arrange on a serving platter.  Sprinkle with slices of Mersey Valley cheese, pistachio nuts and remaining coriander.
