Turmeric & Carrot Infused Jewelled Couscous

Apple Infused Roasted Butternut
- Preheat oven to 180 ℃.
- Allow the butternut to soak in the Rugani 100% Cloudy Apple Juice for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove the butternut from the juice and place on a pan and then in the oven.

- Once roasted and soft, add the roasted butternut to the jewelled couscous.
- Top the dish with the chopped coriander.
