Instructions

1

 Halve the red pepper, remove the core and chop into 2cm chunks. Zest, then halve the lemon. Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all). Drain and rinse the chick peas. 

2

Heat a splash of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the red pepper, stir and cook until softened, 4-5 mins. Add the cumin and smoked paprika, cook for a minute then add the chopped tomatoes,  water (see ingredients for amount) and half the stock. Bring up to boil then lower the heat. Leave the stew to simmer until the sauce has reduced by half and is thick and tomatoey, 20-25 mins. Add the chickpeas after 10 mins.

3

Pour the water (see ingredients for amount) into a saucepan and bring to the boil on high heat. Stir in and dissolve the remaining veggie stock powder. Add the lemon zest and then stir in the couscous. Remove from the heat and cover with a tight fitting lid or foil. Leave for 10 mins, the couscous will cook and absorb the stock in this time. Preheat your grill to high.

4

Line a baking tray with foil. Pop the tilapia fillets into a dish and drizzle on a splash of oil. Season with salt and then sprinkle on the chermoula spice (use less if you're not a fan of heat, it's hot!). Rub the flavourings all over the fish and then lay on the baking tray. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling raw fish. Grill until the fish is nicely browned and cooked through, 8-10 mins.

5

While the fish cooks, fluff the couscous up with a fork. Season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Stir through half the coriander. Taste the stew and season with salt and pepper if necessary. Get ready to plate up!

6

Share the couscous between your plates and lay the tilapia fillet on top. Squeeze some lemon juice over the fish and then spoon the stew over alongside. Finish with a sprinkle of remaining coriander. Enjoy!
