Cooking steps
1
- Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
- Trim the aubergine and chop into 2cm pieces. Pop 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, 20-25 mins. Turn the tray halfway through.
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.
3
- Meanwhile, halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 2cm chunks. Chop the tofu into 2cm cubes.
- 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 and tofu 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.
4
- Reduce the heat of the pan to medium-high.
- Add cannellini beans, chopped tomatoes, half a sachet of Italian herbs (per 2P).
- Stir in ½ tsp sugar (per 2P), the remaining harissa spice, half the parsley and remaining stock.
- Cover and simmer for 8-10 mins.
5
- Once simmered, stir in the roasted aubergine, honey and a knob of butter.
- Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar. Add a splash of water to loosen the sauce if necessary.
- Once everything is ready, fluff up the couscous with a fork.
- Crumble the Greek style cheese into small pieces.
6
- Serve the stew on a bed of couscous.
- Top with the crumbled Greek style cheese.
- Finish with a sprinkling of parsley and a pinch of pepper.
