Method

  • Heat half the sunflower oil in a medium, heavy-based saucepan.听 Add the onion, red pepper & carrot, season & saut茅 for several mins before stirring through the garlic.听 Add the aubergine to the pan with the remaining oil, cover & let the vegetables soften for 5-10 mins, stirring every so often.
  • Place the whole tomatoes in a medium bowl, cover with boiling water & set aside for 1 minute.听 Remove the skins from the tomatoes & finely chop the flesh.
  • Sprinkle the spices over the cooking vegetables, allowing the flavours to infuse for several mins, before adding the chopped tomatoes.听 Season & bring to a gentle simmer.
  • When the tomatoes have broken up a little & are beginning to look more sauce-like, add the pur茅e.听 Stir to combine, season, cover & simmer until the vegetables are soft 鈥� around 20 mins.听
  • Finally, drain & rinse the chickpeas, & stone & chop the dates.听 Add the chickpeas & dates to the pan & cook gently for a further 10 mins.
  • Meanwhile, place the couscous in a bowl with the saffron strands & the lemon zest strips.听
  • Dissolve the vegetable stock granules in 250ml boiling water & pour over the couscous.听 Cover & let sit for 5-10 mins until all the water has been absorbed.听 Remove the lemon zest & fluff with a fork.听
  • Add the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil & flat-leaf parsley & stir.听
  • Divide the couscous between plates & serve topped with the stew.
