- Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
- Trim the aubergine and chop into 2cm pieces. Pop onto a large (lined) baking tray.
- Toss with, salt, pepper, half the harissa spice and a drizzle of oil. Spread out in a single layer.
- Roast the aubergine until golden brown and soft, 20-25 mins. Turn the tray halfway through.
- Pour the couscous and half the stock into a bowl.
- Stir in 200ml boiling water (4P: 500ml | 6P: 600ml).
- Cover with a plate or cling film.
- Leave aside for 10 mins or until ready to serve.
TIP: If you're in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
- Meanwhile, halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 2cm chunks.
- Drain and rinse the cannellini beans in a sieve.
- Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
- Place a large pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the pepper until charred, 5-7 mins. Season with salt and pepper.
TIP: Stir only every so often so the pepper picks up a nice colour.
- Reduce the heat of the pan to medium-high.
- Add cannellini beans, chopped tomatoes, half a sachet of Italian herbs (per 2P).
- Stir in ½ tsp sugar (per 2P), the remaining harissa spice, half the parsley and remaining stock.
- Cover and simmer for 8-10 mins.
- Once simmered, stir in the roasted aubergine, honey and a knob of butter.
- Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar. Add a splash of water to loosen the sauce if necessary.
