Instructions
1
- Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Put the couscous in a medium bowl with ½ tsp salt (double for 4p) and pepper.
- Pour 200ml boiling water (500ml for 4p) into the bowl.
- Cover with a plate or cling film and leave to the side for 10 mins (or until ready to serve).
2
- Trim the aubergine, then cut into roughly 2cm pieces. Pop onto a lined baking tray.
- Drizzle with good glug of oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
- When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until the aubergine is soft and golden, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through.
3
- Meanwhile, place a large pan (without oil) over medium-high heat.
- Pick the mint leaves from their stalks and roughly chop (discard the stalks).
- Peel and grate the ginger. Use a teaspoon to easily scrape away the peel.
- Once the pan is hot, dry-fry the almonds, stirring regularly, until lightly toasted, 3-4 mins.
- Remove from the pan and set aside.
TIP: Watch them like a hawk as they can burn easily.
4
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a sieve. Pat dry with kitchen paper.
- Return the (now empty) pan to medium-high heat, with a good glug of oil.
- Fry the chickpeas until crispy, 4-5 mins, shifting regularly.
- Add the grated ginger and ras-el-hanout and fry until fragrant, 2-3 mins.
- Add chopped tomatoes and half the harissa then lower heat to medium, cover and leave to simmer until reduced and slightly thickened, 10-12 mins.
5
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl mix yoghurt, remaining harissa and half the chopped mint.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
6
- Season the chickpea tagine to taste with salt, pepper and sugar, adding a splash of water if required.
- Fluff up the couscous with a fork and divide between bowls.
- Top with the chickpea tagine, aubergine and harissa yoghurt.
- Garnish with the toasted almonds and remaining chopped mint.
