1
Pre-heat the oven to 200c fan.
2
Chuck the squash into a roasting tray and add the olive oil and plenty of salt.
3
Mix well and roast for 20-25 minutes or until tender and a little crispy.
4
Meanwhile, boil the giant couscous in a pan of boiling water for 15-20 minutes or until al dente.
5
Adjust the cooking time if using giant couscous or orzo.
6
Drain and refresh with cold water.
7
Once cold, drain again.
8
Whilst the couscous boils, put the red onion into a bowl and add the lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
9
Toss together and leave to lightly pickle.
10
Give it a mix after 5 minutes.
11
Mix the harissa together with the honey and remaining lemon juice and oil.
12
Put couscous into a mixing bowl.
13
Add the squash, parsley, dressing and onions.
14
Toss together.

Transfer to a serving dish and add the beetroot – this helps keep the colour of everything else.

If you don’t care, mix it all together.
17
Serve immediately.
