  1. Preheat the oven to 220C / fan 200C / gas mark 7. Dice the aubergine into 2cm cubes. Place onto a lined baking tray, drizzle with 1 tbsp oil and season with sea salt and black pepper. Roast for 18-20 mins, until soft and golden.
  2. Heat a large saucepan filled with salted boiling water on high heat. Add the quinoa and boil for 13-14 mins, until cooked, then drain.
  3. Meanwhile, finely slice the onion and finely chop or crush the garlic. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat and cook the onion for 5-7 mins, until softened. Add the Heura chick'n and continue to cook for 3-4 mins, until starting to brown.
  4. Add the garlic, smoked paprika and cumin to the pan and cook for 1 minute. Drain and rinse the chickpeas then add to the pan, along with the passata and 250ml water. Crumble in the stock cube and stir to dissolve. Simmer for 6-8 mins, until the sauce has thickened.
  5. Roughly chop the coriander. Once roasted, stir the aubergine and half the coriander into the drained quinoa. Season with sea salt to taste.
  6. Just before serving, stir the spinach into the tagine to wilt and add the remaining coriander. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper, then serve in bowls alongside the quinoa.
