Sumac Roasted Pumpkin Bowl with Kale and Almonds

Preheat oven to 200°C. Peel and dice the pumpkin. Place on a lined baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper and the sumac; toss to coat. Arrange in a single, even layer and roast 25-27 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Tip! Set a timer for 15 minutes to add the kale to the oven at step 3.

Meanwhile, place couscous in a heatproof container and mix well with 1 tsp of oil. Mix the vege stock concentrate with ³⁄₄ cup boiling water from a kettle. Mix into the couscous and allow to sit, covered with cling film or a lid for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Remove and discard kale stems, then tear into chunks. Spread on a lined baking tray and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. With 10 minutes remaining on the sweet potato, add kale to oven, cooking for 10 minutes, until crisp on edges and slightly browned.

Tip! You will have leftover onion. Kale does not need to be in a single layer as it will shrink in volume as it cooks.

Peel and thinly slice ¹⁄₂ of the red onion. In a bowl combine the onion, red wine vinegar and sugar. Pick mint and roughly chop. Toast flaked almonds in a small pan for 1-2 minutes. Mix 1 tbsp of water into Greek yoghurt/aioli to make a drizzling consistency.

Season couscous with salt, pepper, olive oil and some of the pickled onion vinegar.

Divide the pumpkin, kale chips, pickled onion and couscous between dishes. Garnish with mint, flaked almonds and a drizzle of yoghurt aioli sauce. Enjoy!
