Method
- Heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is soft. Add the mushrooms and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until browned. Add the mixed spices and fry for 1 minute to release the aromas and intensify the flavour. Add the chickpeas, carrot, tomatoes and stock. Bring to the boil then simmer for 20 minutes, or until the sauce develops a thicker consistency.
- Meanwhile, cook the couscous according to the packet instructions to be ready at the same time as the tagine.
- Add the lemon juice to the tagine and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with the couscous.
Cook's tips
A tablespoon of dried fruit, such as chopped apricots, can be added to the tagine for extra flavour.
