PERKY PUMPKIN & BABY ONIONS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the pumpkin pieces and the halved baby onions on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, season, and turn the baby onions cut-side down. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crisping up. Place the drained Lentils on a separate roasting tray. Coat in oil, season, and spread out in a single layer. When the pumpkin and onions are halfway, give them a shift and return to the oven. Place the tray of lentils in the oven above the pumpkin and roast for 15-20 minutes until nice and crispy.
GIANT GOODNESS
Rinse the giant couscous. Place in a pot with 250ml of salted water and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat. Allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally as the water is absorbed. Only add more water if required during the cooking process. On completion, the couscous should be al dente. Drain if necessary and season to taste.
TOAST THE PISTACHIOS
Place the pistachios in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until they begin to turn light brown. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.
TANTALISING Tahini
In a bowl, combine the Tahini with the honey to taste. If the honey is too hard to mix, pop it in the microwave for 5-10 seconds before combining with the tahini. Stir in lukewarm water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Season to taste and set aside for serving.

When the couscous is cooked, toss through a drizzle of oil and three quarters of the sliced mint.
TUCK IN
Make a bed of minty couscous. Cover with the caramelised roast veggies, crispy Lentils, and julienne beetroot. Scatter over the radish rounds, toasted pistachios, and remaining fresh mint.
