Ingredients
Wholewheat Couscous, dry
240 g
Olive Oil
1 tablespoon(s)
Courgette
2 medium, finely chopped
Garlic
1 clove(s), thinly sliced
Harissa paste
1 tablespoon(s)
Tinned Tomatoes
1 can(s), large

Instructions
1
Put the couscous in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Cover and leave to stand.
2
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium-high heat. Fry the courgette and garlic for 3-4 minutes, until the courgette is golden. Add the harissa paste and cook, stirring, for another minute, until fragrant.
3
Stir in the tomatoes and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, then add the prawns and simmer for 5 minutes more, until the prawns are cooked through and the courgette is tender. Mix in the coriander.
4
Drizzle the lemon juice over the couscous and season lightly, fluffing up with a fork. Serve the tagine on top of the couscous, with the pine nuts and extra coriander scattered over.
