INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 220/425/gas 7.  Prepare the peppers, aubergine and
courgettes by cutting into chunks  of about 4cm. Cut the onion into
wedges. Place the prepared  vegetables in a roasting tin and toss with
the olive oil. Season well.  Roast in the preheated oven for 20
minutes, then add the cherry  tomatoes and roast for a further 20
minutes until cooked and lightly  charred.  For the tahini cream, in a
bowl combine the tahini paste with the  orange juice. Add the yoghurt
and cumin and season to taste. Set to  one side.  Cook the couscous as
directed on the packet. When cooked toss the warm  couscous in the
olive oil and lemon juice, and season well.  To serve, spread the
couscous out on a large serving dish. Pile the  roasted vegetables on
top. Serve the tahini cream on the side in a  separate serving bowl,
and sprinkle the surface with a little paprika  and the freshly chopped
parsley. This dish is delicious warm or cold.  DISCLAIMERÂ© Copyright
