Method

  1. In a medium-sized saucepan or casserole dish, fry the chopped onion and olive oil for a few minutes to soften. Add a little more oil if needed. Stir in the tagine paste, cook for a minute and then add the apricots, chopped tomatoes, chickpeas, and stock then cover. Once it has come to a simmer, cook for 15 mins.
  2. Meanwhile prepare the couscous according to the packet instructions.
  3. Stir the meat-free chicken-style pieces into the tagine and cook for a further 3-4mins, or until piping hot. Once the tagine is ready, stir through the chopped coriander.
  4. Serve with the couscous, then top with a dollop of yogurt, and sprinkle with the extra leaves of coriander and the flaked almonds.
