Method

  1. Heat the oil in a deep saucepan over a medium heat and fry the onions for 10 mins. Stir in the garlic and harissa seasoning; fry for 2 mins.
  2. Add the sweet potatoes, chickpeas and 750ml stock, then stir in the cranberry sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 12 mins or until the sweet potato is just tender.
  3. Meanwhile, put the couscous in a heatproof bowl. Pour over the 350ml hot stock and sit a plate on top to cover. Leave to soak for 10 mins. Reserve 4 coriander sprigs; chop the rest of the leaves.
  4. Stir the orange zest and juice into the tagine; season to taste. Use a fork to fluf up the couscous, then stir through the chopped coriander with a little seasoning. Serve the tagine spooned over the couscous, topped with crème fraîche and the reserved coriander sprigs.
    • Freezing and defrosting guidelines

      Freeze the tagine in an airtight container. Defrost, then reheat in the microwave or a saucepan until piping hot. In order to enjoy optimum flavour and quality, frozen items are best used within 3 months of their freezing date. For more tips on freezing and defrosting food, read our article Love Your Freezer.
