Method

Step 1

Place vegetables, chickpeas, and garlic in a medium non-stick roasting pan. Drizzle over oil. Sprinkle with curry powder. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer.

Step 2

Cook in a very hot oven (220C) for 15 to 20 minutes until vegetables are lightly browned and just tender. Remove. Stir in couscous, stock and 1/2 cup water. Cover with two layers of foil.

Step 3

Cook in a moderate oven (180C) for 20 minutes, until couscous is tender, and liquid is absorbed. Stand covered for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Garnish with mint. Serve with yoghurt and lemon wedges.
