This Moroccan pork tagine gets its subtle sweetness from a secret ingredient - mango chutney! It adds a tasty boost and makes the sauce thick and rich. Served with a mint-infused couscous and topped with a nutty almond crunch, there are so many things to enjoy in this flavoursome bowl.

1 unit
onion
2 clove
garlic
1 bunch
mint
2 packet
Slivered Almonds
(Contains Almond; )
1 packet
pork mince
2 sachet
tomato paste
3 sachet
chermoula spice blend
1 tub
mango chutney
2 cube
Chicken-Style Stock Powder
2 packet
couscous
(Contains Gluten(Wheat); )
1 punnet
cherry tomatoes
2 unit
courgette
olive oil
1 cup
water (for the sauce)
2 tsp
vinegar (white wine or red wine)
2 cup
water (for the couscous)
Finely chop the brown onion. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Pick and roughly chop the mint leaves. Grate the courgette.
Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the slivered almonds and toast, tossing, for 3-4 minutes, or until golden. Transfer to a plate. Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 4-5 minutes, or until softened. Add the pork mince and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, for 4-5 minutes, or until browned.
Add a drizzle more olive oil, the garlic and chermoula spice blend to the pork mixture. TIP: This spice mix has no chilli but has a strong cumin flavour. Use less if you prefer! Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Add the tomato paste and mango chutney and cook, stirring, for a further 2 minutes. Add the courgette, water (for the sauce) and crumble in 1 chicken stock cube. Stir, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes, or until thickened slightly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
While the sauce is simmering, add the water (for the couscous) to a medium saucepan and crumble in the remaining chicken stock cube. Bring to the boil and add the couscous and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine, cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Set aside for 5 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Fluff the couscous up with a fork and stir through 1/2 the mint leaves.
While the couscous is cooking, slice the cherry tomatoes into quarters and place in a medium bowl with the 1/2 the mint, the vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine. TIP: Leave some cherry tomatoes plain for the kids if you like!
Divide the mint couscous and Moroccan pork tagine between bowls and top with a spoonful of the tomato salsa. Sprinkle with the toasted almonds.
