Method

  1. To make the harissa inspired paste, mix together the tomato puree, paprika, chilli powder, coriander, 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil and season with salt. Set aside.
  2. Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and cook the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is soft. Add the courgette and cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the tomato, raisins, stock and lentils. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are cooked, topping up with a little extra stock if required. Towards the end of the cooking time, spoon a little of the cooking liquid into the harissa paste and stir to combine.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the couscous according to the packet instructions.
  4. To serve, simply spoon the stew over the couscous and drizzle over the harissa dressing.
