- Add all of the spices and the garlic. Mix well.
- Add the fried aubergine, the green beans and the courgettes, then continue to simmer very gently until the beans and courgettes are tender.
- Make the couscous as per the packet, adding the salt, olive oil (and the chickpeas if using).
- To make the spicy sauce: - Put the 3 – 4 ladles of stock from the vegetables into a saucepan, add the tomato purée, the sugar, the pomegranate syrup and the harissa to taste. Season with salt, simmer for about 5 minutes.
- To serve: - Fluff up the couscous with a fork and, if you wish, add the chopped fresh herbs and mix well.
