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.

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.
