  1. Black beans- heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over a medium to low heat. Add the onion and 1 tsp sea salt. Cook for ten minutes until soft and translucent, stirring continuously so they don't stick or burn.
  2. Add the cumin, smoked paprika, harissa paste, cinnamon and minced garlic. Stir together for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the chopped bell pepper and stir to combine.
  3. Pour in the tinned cherry tomatoes, black beans (with their juices, if good quality) and water. Stir well. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld.
  4. Remove from heat and season with lime juice and tamari.
  5. Tempeh - Preheat the oven at 180c. fan assisted.
  6. Boil the tempeh in salted water for 20 minutes to soften, this will allow any flavours to absorb. Drain and allow to cool slightly. crumble it by hand into small bite sized pieces.
  7. In a bowl, combine olive oil, tamari, lime juice, smoked paprika and maple syrup. Toss the crumbled tempeh in this marinade until evenly coated. Spread the tempeh in a single layer on a baking tray. Bake for 25 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.
  8. Serve - Spoon the harissa black beans into a large serving bowl or onto plates or bowls. Top with the crispy tempeh, dollops of plant-based yogurt, a drizzle of the harissa oil and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Serve with some crusty sourdough or a grain of choice.

Notes

Tempeh prep: Boiling the tempeh is key to a tender inside while still achieving a crispy exterior. Spice level: Adjust the harissa paste to your preferred heat. Storage: Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the oven. Variations: Swap black beans for chickpeas or kidneys beans if preferred. Add extra veggies like zucchini, mushrooms or squash for more texture and fibre.
