  1. Heat the oil in a large non-stick saucepan and gently cook the onion and garlic for 5-7 minutes.

Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 25 minutes.
  2. Stir in the Quorn or tofu and continue simmering for a further 5 minutes, then taste and add more salt and harissa paste if you like. Scatter with the chopped coriander and serve.

    This is delicious and easy to make. It also works well with thai red curry paste in place of the harissa.

    This is one of my favourite recipes. I use whatever veg I have at home and it always comes out great. I use harissa powder rather than paste, and also fresh grated ginger if I have it. It's great both with quorn and tofu.

    Absolutely gorgeous. Served for a bunch of meat eaters and one vegetarian. None of the meat eaters even noticed it was veggie!

    Really great recipe - full of flavour and really easy to prepare. I added chiken strips cooked in harissa because i had chicken in the fridge and it made a very hearty meal - would do this again with or without the meat.

    This was a little disappointing in that although the vegetables were a good mix, the addition of honey made the whole dish too sweet, even though I only used 1 tbsp. If I made it again I think I may try thai red curry paste instead of harissa, as suggested above and also omit the honey.

    Used Blue Dragon sweet chilli sauce in place of harissa and falafel instead of quorn/tofu - came out very flavoursome, good with rice leftover from last night's Indian. I made it with a mixture of courgette, carrot and aubergine, the courgette and carrot were really tender and lovely, but DO NOT make it with aubergine. It was DISGUSTING and I had to pick out the aubergine and throw it away.

    Very good recipe! Easy to make too! Think I used curry paste or power instead of harissa - but came out just as good! I made it for my housemates and they loved it! :-)

    Very easy to make and delicious too! I added a tin of chickpeas to the tagine and served with couscous made with veg stock stirred though with toasted almonds and fresh coriander. Went down a treat at a dinner party for some vegetarian friends. Will def be making again.
