1. Toss the tuna with the harissa and 1 tbsp lemon juice and leave for 10 minutes. Pour the stock over the couscous. Cover, leave for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Thread the tuna on 4 skewers and grill for a minute each side. Mix the rest of the lemon juice and mint with the couscous. Serve with the tuna kebabs and lemon wedges.

  Enjoyed this alot and have cooked it many times. Serve with yogurt if you find the harissa a bit too spicy. My couscous took at least 10 mins to cook.

  Really enjoyed this, I used Rose Harissa instead as it was all I could find - this is not as spicy as normal harissa. I took the advice and made a cucumber yogurt to go with it. I think that this was needed as otherwise I think it might have been slightly dry. Will be making again soon.
