    Method

    • step 1

      Preheat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5.
    • step 2

      Mix the sweet potato, aubergine, courgette and red pepper in a large bowl. Drizzle over 2 tablespoons of the oil and mix to coat. Season generously with salt and pepper.
    • step 3

      Heat a large, non-stick frying pan over a high heat. WHEN the pan is HOT, add the vegetables in batches. Fry, stirring and turning regularly, for 3-4 minutes, or until lightly browned.
    • step 4

      Heat the remaining oil in a lidded casserole over a medium heat. Add the onions and fry for 3-5 minutes, stirring regularly, until softened. Add the garlic, coriander and cumin and fry for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
    • step 5

      Stir in the chopped tomatoes, harissa paste, honey, apricots and chickpeas until well combined. Add the vegetables and cook for 2-3 minutes.
    • step 6

      Cover and transfer to the oven. Cook for 30 minutes, then stir in 200ml/7fl oz cold water until well combined and return to the oven, covered, for a further 15 minutes, or until the tagine is thick and the vegetables are tender.
    • step 7

      Sprinkle the tagine with the chopped coriander and serve with freshly cooked couscous or rice.

    I made this last week, and think it's really yummy alone or portioned as a side dish with rice or chicken. I left out the harissa paste as I didn't have any. Depending on how you serve the portions, I think it actually could serve up to 6 people! :) Will make again for my veggie friends.
