Apricot Tagine

Ingredients

  • 1 tin chickpeas (400 g) | rinsed and drained

  • 1 cube vegetable stock made to 150 ml stock

  • 150 g dried apricots roughly chopped

  • 2 large onions sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic crushed

  • 2 tbsp olive oil plus extra to roast the cauliflower

  • 0.5 tsp ground turmeric

  • 0.5 tsp ground ginger

  • 0.5 tsp ground cumin

  • 0.5 tsp ground coriander

  • 0.5 tsp salt

  • 600 g cauliflower cut into florets

Directions

  • Preheat the air fryer (or oven) to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7.

  • Place all the ingredients except the cauliflower in a large saucepan and bring to the boil over a high heat.

  • Reduce the heat to medium–low, cover with a lid and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 35 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, place the cauliflower florets in a large roasting tray, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast for about 25–30 minutes, until tender and golden.

  • Add the roasted cauliflower to the simmering chickpea tagine and simmer for 5 minutes, then taste and add more salt if necessary.

  • Whilst simmering, prepare the couscous (put 1:1 w/w with boiling water and cover, then fluff up with fork).
