BECOUSCOUS I SAID SO!
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil a full kettle. Using a shallow bowl, submerge the couscous in 125ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and set aside to steam for 5-8 minutes until tender.
ROAST & TOAST
Place the butternut chunks on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway. Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until beginning to pop and turn brown. Remove from the pan on completion.
PAT THE PATTIES INTO SHAPE
When the couscous is done, add 1 egg, the diced onion, the rub, ½ the chopped cranberries, the flour, seasoning, and ½ the chopped parsley, to the bowl. Shape into 3-4 patties and set aside in the fridge until frying.
PERFECT PEA HUMMUS
Submerge the peas in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until plump and heated through. Drain on completion and place in a blender. Add the hummus and pulse until smooth. Season to taste and set aside.
HEY, PATTY!
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the patties for 2-3 minutes per side until golden. Remove and drain on paper towel. In a salad bowl, add the roasted butternut, the toasted pumpkin seeds, seasoning, and a drizzle of olive oil. Crumble in the drained feta and toss until fully combined.
THE MAIN EVENT
Serve up the crispy couscous patties with a big scoop of the roasted butternut salad alongside. Serve with the perfect pea hummus. Sprinkle over the remaining parsley and chopped cranberries. Wowzers, Chef!
