Categories     main-dish

Time 8h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 carrots, thinly sliced on an angle
1/2 large celery root, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks (about 2 cups)
3/4 cup pitted prunes, chopped
1 1/4 pounds beef stew meat
1 tablespoon ras el hanout (Moroccan seasoning)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup couscous
2 teaspoons harissa paste, plus more for serving
Fresh cilantro, for topping

Steps:

  • Stir the carrots, celery root and 1/2 cup prunes in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Toss the beef with the ras el hanout, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Arrange on top of the vegetables. Whisk the chicken broth and tomato paste in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup and pour over the meat and vegetables. Cover and cook on low until the meat is tender, 7 to 8 hours.
  • About 15 minutes before serving, cook the couscous as the label directs.
  • Skim the fat off the top of the stew with a ladle and discard. Stir in the harissa and season with salt and pepper. Divide the couscous and stew among bowls. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup prunes and cilantro; serve with more harissa.

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tbsp sunflower oil
2 medium onions , roughly chopped
350g pack Quorn mince
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp ground turmeric
100g ready-to-eat dried apricots , quartered
600ml vegetable stock
280g couscous
grated zest of 2 lemons
4 tbsp chopped fresh mint
50g unsalted cashews , toasted under the grill

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan, add the onions and cook gently for 5 minutes until they soften. Stir in the Quorn and spices (unlike meat and poultry, Quorn doesn't need to be browned), then add the apricots and stock. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down and cook gently for 10-15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make up the couscous following the packet instructions - it will take about 450ml boiling water to give it a nice fluffy texture. Fork through the lemon zest and mint. Season to taste.
  • Spoon the couscous onto serving plates, pile the Quorn mixture on top and scatter with the cashews.
