Preheat oven to 200°C. Lightly grease a 10-cup 25cm pie dish or round baking dish.

Place couscous in a large heatproof bowl and pour over 1/2 cup of boiling water. Cover and set aside for 5 minutes, or until liquid has been completely absorbed.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a frying pan on high. Cook onion for 4 minutes, stirring until softened. Add mince and cook for 6 minutes, breaking up lumps with a wooden spoon, until evenly browned. Stir in pumpkin and paste. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pumpkin softens. Season to taste.

Step 4 of 6

Fluff couscous with a fork to separate grains. Add beef mixture, currants, almonds and mint. Mix well to combine.

Step 5 of 6

Spray 3 pastry sheets with oil and layer on top of each other. Repeat to make 3 separate stacks. Line pie dish with pastry, overlapping to completely line dish and allowing excess to overhang.

Step 6 of 6

Pile beef filling mixture into centre. Fold overhanging pastry over the top of filling. Spray with olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and crisp all over. Cut into wedges and serve with yoghurt.
