Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Roast the vegetables in the oven for 40-45 minutes until cooked.
- Meanwhile, put the couscous in a small bowl with a pinch of seasoning. Pour over 150-175ml boiling water and leave, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff up the grains with a fork, then set aside to cool slightly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, orange zest, juice and a pinch each of salt, pepper and sugar, then stir through the cooked couscous. Transfer to a serving bowl and stir through the roasted vegetables and most of the herbs.
- Neatly slice the smoked chicken and stir into the barley couscous. Scatter with the remaining herbs and serve with a dollop of natural yogurt, if you want to.
