Middle Eastern Chickpea & Tomato Stew
with Carrot-Currant Couscous & Almonds
With a little help from our chermoula spice blend, this veggie-loaded stew definitely delivers in the flavour department. Served with a slightly sweet and earthy couscous, and topped with a creamy mint yoghurt and a sprinkle of almonds, it's a textural treat, too.

Instructions
• Finely chop garlic. Roughly chop zucchini and baby spinach leaves. • Grate carrot (see ingredients). • Drain and rinse chickpeas. • Pick and finely slice mint leaves.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chickpeas and zucchini, stirring, until zucchini is softened, 3-4 minutes. • Add chermoula spice blend and 1/2 the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add diced tomatoes with garlic & onion, the water (for the sauce) and 1/2 the vegetable stock powder. Stir to combine. Simmer until sauce is slightly thickened, 2-4 minutes. • Add baby spinach, the butter and the brown sugar and stir until spinach is wilted, 1 minute. • Season with salt and pepper.
• While the stew is simmering, heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot and remaining garlic, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes. • Add the water (for the couscous) and remaining vegetable stock powder and bring to the boil. • Add couscous and currants, stirring to combine. Cover with a lid, then remove from heat. Leave until water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.
• In a small bowl, combine Greek-style yoghurt, a drizzle of olive oil and 1/2 the mint. Season to taste.
• Divide carrot-currant couscous between bowls. • Spoon over Middle Eastern chickpea and tomato stew. • Top with a dollop of mint yoghurt. • Sprinkle with flaked almonds and remaining mint to serve. Enjoy!
