Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Preheat your oven to 220°C/Fan 200°C/Gas 7. Fill and boil your kettle. Trim the courgettes and slice them in half lengthways. Cut the courgette halves into thick pieces and scatter them into a roasting tin. Peel the red onion and slice it into wedges. Pick the thyme leaves. Add the onion and thyme to the courgettes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over 1 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp honey and toss together. Slide the tin into the oven and roast for 25 mins, turning everything over halfway, till the veg are tender and golden.

  • 2.

    While the courgettes roast, tip the couscous into a bowl. Pour in 150ml hot water from the kettle and stir. Cover with a plate and set aside to soak for 10 mins. The couscous will soak up the water and become tender.

  • 3.

    Peel and grate the garlic into a small bowl. Squeeze in the juice from half the lemon and pour in 1 tbsp olive oil. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and stir to make a dressing. Taste the dressing and add a little more salt, pepper or lemon juice if you think it needs it.

  • 4.

    When the roast veg are tender, tip the couscous into the tin, along with the lemony dressing. Add the lamb's lettuce and toss together. Divide the salad between a couple of plates and serve topped with crumbles of sheep's cheese.
