Method
- Preheat the oven to 210 °C (conventional). Peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds and fibres and cut it into slices about 1 cm thick.
- Lay the pumpkin on a tray lined with baking paper, dress with half the oil and a pinch of salt and roast for 20 minutes, until tender and golden at the edges.
- Meanwhile peel the garlic and slice it thinly; wash, dry and tear the mint leaves. In a small bowl stir the vinegar and sugar until the sugar dissolves.
- Put the couscous in a bowl, pour over salted boiling water just to cover, cover and leave for 5 minutes, then fluff it up with a fork.
- Take the pumpkin out while still hot and dress it with the sweet-and-sour mixture, the garlic and the mint, so it takes on flavour while you cook the meat.
- Heat a griddle over high heat, rub the turkey breast with the remaining oil and grill for 4 minutes per side, until golden outside and no longer pink inside; season with salt. Serve with the pumpkin and couscous.
