Instructions

1
  • Pour the water for the couscous (see pantry for amount) and half the vegetable stock paste into a saucepan and bring to the boil. 
  • When boiling, remove from the heat, stir in the couscous and pop a lid on the pan.
  • Leave to the side for 8-10 mins or until ready to serve.
  • Meanwhile, halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
  • Drain the chickpeas in a sieve.
2
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. 
  • Once the oil is hot, add the pepper and fry until softened, 4-5 mins. 
  • Meanwhile, drain the prawns.
3
  • Add the prawns and stir-fry for 2-3 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns.
  • Add the chickpeas, cinnamon, harissa paste (add less if you'd prefer things milder, passata, sugar and water (see pantry for both) along with the remaining vegetable stock paste.
  • Stir and bring to the boil, reduce the heat slightly and simmer for 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: The prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.
4
  • Once the prawns are cooked and the sauce has thickened, add the spinach and cook until piping hot, 1-2 mins.
  • When everything's ready, share the couscous and prawns between serving bowls. 
  • Sprinkle over the flaked almonds to finish.

Enjoy!
