Cooking steps

Roast the Aubergine
1
  • Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
  • Trim the aubergine and chop into 2cm pieces. Pop aubergine and chicken onto a large (lined) baking tray.
  • Toss with salt, pepper, half the harissa spice and a drizzle of oil. Spread out in a single layer.
  • Roast the aubergine until golden brown and soft, 15-18 mins. Turn the tray halfway through.
Cook the Couscous
2
  • Pour 600ml water (per 2P) into a pot, stir in half the stock and bring to the boil.
  • Stir in the pearled couscous, bring back up to the boil and simmer, covered, 12-15 mins.
  • Drain in a sieve and pop back in the pot. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

Soften the Pepper
3
  • Meanwhile, halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 2cm chunks.
  • Drain and rinse the cannellini beans in a sieve.
  • Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
  • Place a large pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, fry the bell pepper until charred, 5-7 mins. Season with salt and pepper.

TIP: Stir only every so often so the bell pepper picks up a nice colour.
