1. Put the couscous in a bowl with 1 tsp olive oil and just cover with boiling chicken stock. Cover and leave to swell for 5 minutes. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan, add the onion and garlic and fry for 1-2 minutes or until just tender. Add the cumin and fry for a minute, add the tomatoes and harissa and bubble everything together until it thickens slightly. Season well.
2. Stir in the prawns and cook for 3 minutes, then scatter the coriander over. Serve with the couscous.

  Absolutely gorgeous and so easy to prepare. I don't agree with the comments about the cous cous lacking flavour/texture as there was plenty of sauce to flavour all of the cous cous and plenty of prawns for texture! My favourite dish from this website (so far!).

  A great dish! The harissa paste has such a nice flavour! Added some finely chopped peppers, cucumber, coriander and a squeeze of lime to the cous cous to take away the blandness.

  I just adored this recipe. It will definitely become a regular in this household. I added some baby mushrooms and peppers plus an extra spoonful of Harissa going by the comments. Can anyone tell me if this is safe to reheat the day after as I have a portion left I was going to have over a jacket potato?

  Absolutely delicious! I cooked the stew exactly as the recipe. I added pomegranate seeds and coriander to the couscous though and it was very tasty.

  Great meal - really easy to prepare and cook - perfect for coming in late after work and still being able to cook something fresh - often roast some veg on the side to have with it.
