Ingredients

4 tsp The Spice People Za’atar Middle Eastern

2 tsp The Spice People Egyptian Dukkah 

300g or 2 chicken breasts

1 tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 red capsicum 

1 sweet potato, sliced

1 eggplant, sliced

2 tsp The Spice People Celery Salt Seasoning

2 cups cous cous

2 tbsp sultanas 

Handful freshly chopped mint


Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Coat the chickpeas with olive oil and Egyptian Dukkah, then pour out onto a tray.
  2. Arrange the sweet potato, eggplant, chicken and capsicum on the same tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with Middle Eastern Za’atar and 2 tsp za’atar and roast for 20-25 minutes until golden.
  3. Place 2 cups cous cous in a large heatproof bowl. Pour over 2 cups boiling water, add a drizzle of olive oil and celery salt, then cover and let sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork to separate the grains before mixing in the chickpeas, sultanas, and mint.
  4. Divide cous cous mix into containers, top with roast vegetables and sliced chicken.
  5. Sprinkle extra dukkah and a pinch of za’atar before serving or storing. Perfect for make-ahead lunches packed with flavour and protein.
