Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9. Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the quinoa and boil for 13-14 mins until cooked, then drain.
- Dice the peppers into 2cm squares. Dice the aubergines into 1cm cubes. Place the aubergine on a lined baking tray and toss with 1 tbsp oil. Roast in the oven for 20-25 mins, until soft. For the final 15 mins of roasting, add the pepper to the tray and roast together until both are soft.
- Meanwhile, finely dice the onion. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat with 1 tsp oil. Once hot, add the onion and cook for 3-4 mins until softening. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Add the garlic, Moroccan seasoning and harissa paste to the pan. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then add to the pan along with the tomato puree and chopped tomatoes. Simmer together for 8-12 mins, until the sauce has thickened. Add a splash of water if it gets too thick.
- Once the vegetables are roasted, stir them into the tagine. Season with sea salt to taste.
- Serve the quinoa in bowls, topped with the tagine. Scatter over the pomegranate seeds. Roughly tear over the parsley to garnish.
