Method
step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large casserole over a medium heat and cook the onion with a pinch of salt for 10 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic, ground spices, harissa and coriander stalks, and cook for 2 minutes. Tip in the squash, sweet potato, tomatoes, lemons and sultanas, along with 600ml of water. Bring to a boil, season and simmer gently for 1 hour until the squash and potato are cooked through and the tagine is saucy.
step 2
Put the couscous into a large bowl with a pinch of salt and pour over enough justboiled water to cover by a few centimetres. Cover and leave for 10 minutes, then fluff up with a fork and cover again until needed.
step 3
Stir the beans into the tagine and simmer for 2-3 minutes until just cooked, then season and serve with the couscous and a scattering of coriander.
