  • 800g Kent pumpkin, deseeded, cut into wedges
  • 20.00 ml dukkah
  • 400g can chickpeas, drained, rinsed
  • 2 tsp ras el hanout

Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan forced. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. In a jug, combine the oil, honey, and harissa by whisking with a fork until well mixed.
  • Spread the pumpkin in one layer on the tray. Coat with some of the flavorful harissa mixture. Bake for 20 minutes. Flip the pumpkin over, coat with more of the aromatic harissa mixture, and bake for another 15 minutes. Finally, sprinkle with dukkah and bake for an extra 5 minutes until the pumpkin is soft. Save the remaining delicious harissa mixture for later.
  • Spread chickpeas on a lined baking tray, spray with oil, sprinkle with ras el hanout, and bake for 15 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until toasted. Allow to cool.
  • Prepare the rice and quinoa cups in the microwave according to the package instructions. Set aside. Fry the halloumi in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes per side until golden.
  • Squeeze fresh lemon juice into the reserved harissa mixture. Serve the rice mixture in bowls, topped with chickpeas, pumpkin, haloumi, and lettuce. Drizzle with the lemony harissa mixture. Finish by adding tomato, onion, pomegranate, pepitas, sugar snap peas, kale, and optional edible flowers.
