North African Chickpea & Tomato Stew

with Currant Couscous & Mint Yoghurt

When we first tried this bright burst of goodness, we all agreed it had that "hug in a bowl" kind of feeling. There's wholesome chickpeas, courgette and carrot, plus a sublime, lightly spiced tomato sauce that soaks into the couscous. Enjoy!

Instructions

Get prepped
1

Finely chop the garlic. Roughly chop the courgette and baby spinach leaves. Grate the carrot (see ingredients). Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Pick and thinly slice the mint leaves. Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the flaked almonds and toast, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.

Start the stew
2

Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the chickpeas and courgette until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add the Tunisian seasoning (see ingredients) and 1/2 the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

Finish the stew
3

Add the crushed & sieved tomatoes, water (for the sauce) and 1/2 the vegetable stock powder to the chickpeas, then stir to combine. Simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, 2-4 minutes. Add the baby spinach, butter and brown sugar, then season with salt and pepper. Stir until the spinach has wilted, 1 minute. Set aside.

Cook the couscous
4

While the stew is cooking, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium saucepan over a medium-high heat. Cook the carrot and remaining garlic until softened, 2-3 minutes. Add the water (for the couscous) and remaining vegetable stock powder and bring to the boil. Add the couscous and currants, then stir to combine. Cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Leave until all the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and set aside, uncovered.

Make the mint yoghurt
5

While the couscous is cooking, combine the Greek- style yoghurt, mint and a drizzle of olive oil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve up
6

Divide the currant couscous between bowls and spoon over the North African chickpea and tomato stew. Top with the mint yoghurt and sprinkle over the toasted almonds.
