Ingredients

Cauliflower Couscous

Tagine

  • 1/4 pack olives
  • 150g prawns
  • 1/4 can cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 pack tagine spices
  • 1/2 courgette, cut in half lengthways & thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp oil
  • 1/4 can chickpeas, drained

To Serve

  • 1 Tbsp yoghurt
  • 1/4 bunch parsley, leaves picked

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (or 200°C fan bake). If you do not have an oven-proof pan, set aside a small baking dish.

  3. Drain chickpeas. Heat oil in a medium frypan on medium-high heat. Cut courgette in half lengthways and thinly slice. Add to pan and cook for about 1 minute, until tender. Add tagine spices and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  4. Add canned tomatoes and a pinch of salt and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 1 minute, until thick. Remove from heat and transfer to baking dish, if using.
  5. Add chickpeas, prawns and olives and cook for about 4 minutes, until prawns are just cooked through.
  6. Toss baby spinach through cooked cauliflower. Pick parsley for serving.
  7. Cauliflower rice with prawn tagine. Dollop over yoghurt and sprinkle over parsley and almonds
