- Pop the couscous into a bowl.
- Pour in 200ml boiling water (4P: 500ml | 6P: 600ml) along with half the stock.
- Cover with a plate or cling film and leave aside for 10 mins (or until ready to serve).
- Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
- Place a (separate) large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- When the oil is hot, add the onion.
- Cook until softened, 4-5 mins.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Trim the courgette, then quarter lengthways. Slice widthways into 1cm thick pieces.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
- Pop half into a bowl and roughly mash with the back of a fork.
- Once the onion has softened, add the garlic, Middle Eastern spice and chickpeas (whole and mashed). Cook until fragrant, 1 min.
- Pour 100ml water (per 2P) and remaining stock into the chickpeas along with the passata.
- Stir in chilli flakes (use less if you don't like spice), ½ tsp sugar (per 2P) and ¼ tsp salt (per 2P).
- Cover and cook until thickened, 8-10 mins.
- When 5 mins of cooking time remain, stir in the prawns and courgette.
- Cover again and simmer until prawns are cooked through, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. Prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.
- Stir a knob of butter and harissa paste through the stew.
- Loosen with a splash of water if you feel it's too thick.
- Season with salt, pepper and sugar.
- When everything is ready, fluff up the couscous with a fork. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Share the couscous between bowls and top with the harissa prawn stew.
- Finish the stew with a drizzle of honey.
