Harissa Lamb and Chickpea Stew

a) Meanwhile, trim the courgette and slice into 1cm thick rounds. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 

b) Once the lamb has browned, drain and discard any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper.

c) Lower the heat, then stir in the tomato puree, chermoula spice and garlic. Cook until fragrant, 1-2 mins.

a) Add the harissa paste (add less if you'd prefer things milder), chicken stock paste, sugar (see pantry for amount) and chickpeas with all their liquid to the pan. Stir to combine.

b) Season with salt and pepper. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

a) While the lamb simmers, pop another large frying pan on high heat with a drizzle of oil.

b) Once hot, add the courgette and cook until charred, 4-5 mins. Turn only every couple of mins - this will result in the courgette picking up some nice colour.

a) While the courgette chars, halve the ciabatta.

b) Toast the ciabatta halves in your toaster until golden.

c) If you're using the oven, warm on the top shelf until golden, 2-3 mins.

d) Once toasted, drizzle with oil and season with salt.
