Trim the courgette, then quarter it lengthways. Cut the quarters widthways into 2cm pieces. Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Cut into 2cm chunks. Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a sieve.
Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat with a glug of oil. Add the courgette and pepper and fry until softened, 3-4 mins. Stir regularly. Sprinkle with the ras-el-hanout.
Add the chickpeas, finely chopped tomatoes, harissa paste and water (see ingredients for amount) to the saucepan. If you’d like to, season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down to medium-low, and simmer until the sauce is thickened, 14-16 mins.
Boil a half-full kettle. Put the couscous and vegetable stock paste in a medium bowl, and pout in the boiled water (see ingredients for amount). Stir to dissolve the stock, then cover and leave for 8-10 mins.
Meanwhile, roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all). Cut the dried apricots into small pieces. Cut the pomegranate into quarters. Separate the seeds from the white pith into a bowl. Be careful: pomegranate juice stains.
Fluff up with couscous with a fork, then stir in half of the parsley through. Spoon the couscous into your bowls, then spoon over the harissa stew. Garnish with the apricots, pomegranate seeds and remaining parsley.
