Cooking Steps

Quarter the fennel and remove the tough core, then chop the fennel into thin strips. Set aside the fennel fronds to use later as garnish.
Heat half of the olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the fennel for 1 - 2 minutes.
Then add the giant couscous, plenty of water and a pinch of salt to the fennel, cover with a lid and boil for 13 - 14 minutes. Drain and add back to the pan.

Heat a clean frying pan over medium-high heat and toast the pumpkin seeds until they start to pop. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Meanwhile, quarter the courgette lengthwise and slice.
Finely chop the onion.
Heat the rest of the olive oil in the frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the onion and courgette for 4 - 5 minutes. Deglaze with the white balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.

In the meantime, peel and halve the garlic.
Remove the stems from the fresh herbs.
Transfer the garlic, fresh herb leaves, walnut pieces, Grana Padano and the extra vierge olive oil to a tall container and blend smooth using an immersion blender. Season with salt and pepper.

Mix the herb pesto with the giant couscous and serve on plates.
Top with the arugula, fried vegetables, honeyed goat cheese pearls, toasted pumpkin seeds and fennel fronds.
