Introduction

Although feta cheese is a high-fat ingredient, using it in small amounts like I’ve done here can be healthy, giving us a source of chloride, which in turn helps us digest the food we eat

Get outside In the warmer months, seize the opportunity to cook your veg on the barbecue to give extra smokiness and flavour – delicious!

Method

Start by toasting the nuts, all the seeds, the chilli flakes and oregano in your widest pan on a medium-high heat until smelling fantastic. Tip into a pestle and mortar and roughly crush, returning the empty pan to the heat. Put the whole courgettes, peppers, tomatoes, peeled onions and the aubergine into the dry pan (use two pans, if you need to). Blacken and char all over, turning regularly and removing to a large bowl as each veg is done. Meanwhile, put the couscous into a bowl and finely grate over the lemon zest. Just cover with boiling kettle water, then pop a plate on top and leave to fluff up.

Once cool enough to handle, pull off any large bits of blackened veg skin that come away easily, but don’t stress too much about getting it all. Deseed the peppers, then chop all the veg into bite-sized chunks, returning to the bowl as you go, along with any lovely juices. Dress with the lemon juice, vinegar, 2 tablespoons of oil and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Pick, finely chop and add the mint leaves (saving the pretty ones for garnish), then toss well.

Warm the tortilla wraps in a dry frying pan for just 30 seconds. Pour a little of the veg dressing over the couscous, fluff up and divide between your plates with the veg, yoghurt, crumbled feta, the nut mixture and reserved mint leaves. Delicious with a drizzle of chilli sauce.
