Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the sausages, carrots and onion in a roasting tin and toss with the cumin, coriander and olive oil. Roast for 30 mins, turning halfway, until cooked through and golden.
- Meanwhile, bring a kettle to the boil. Put the couscous in a bowl with 1 tsp oil; season well. Pour over 150ml boiling water and cover with clingfilm. Leave to stand for a few minutes until all the liquid has been absorbed, then fluff up the grains with a fork. Mix through the herbs, oil and lemon juice.
- To make the harissa yogurt, combine the ingredients in a bowl and set aside until needed.
- Once the sausages are cooked, drizzle over the honey and toss to coat. Serve the sausages and veg with the couscous, harissa yogurt and a scattering of extra herbs.
