Tunisian Tomato & Chickpea Stew
with Couscous & Toasted Almonds
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, kumara and green leaves, plus a sublime, lightly spiced and plant-based creamy sauce that soaks into the couscous. Plate up and enjoy!

Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Peel kumara and cut into bite-sized chunks. • Place kumara on a lined oven tray. Drizzle generously with olive oil, season with a pinch of salt and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, boil the kettle. • Finely chop garlic. Cut carrot into half-moons. Drain the chickpeas. • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast flaked almonds until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Place couscous and vegetable stock powder in a medium heatproof bowl. • Add the boiling water (see ingredients) and stir to combine. Immediately cover with a plate and leave for 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and set aside.
• SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you're sensitive to heat. • When kumara has 10 minutes remaining, return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2-3 minutes. • Add garlic and Moroccan curry paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add tomato sugo, plant-based cream, chickpeas, the plant-based butter and the brown sugar and stir to combine. • Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the stew has reduced slightly, 2-3 minutes. • Stir through roasted kumara and baby spinach leaves until combined and wilted, season with salt and pepper.
• Divide couscous between bowls. Top with Tunisian tomato and chickpea stew. • Sprinkle over toasted almonds. Enjoy!
