This flavor-packed plant-based dish is a perfect balance of warmth, spice, and natural sweetness. Butterbeans provide a hearty dose of fiber and plant protein, while sweet potatoes add beta-carotene for glowing skin and immune support. The rose harissa brings a fragrant heat, complemented by the sweetness of dried apricots and the richness of slow-cooked tomatoes. Paired with a refreshing herby couscous, this dish is both deeply satisfying and nourishing.

Process

  1. Marinate the tomatoes: toss the halved cherry tomatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Let them sit and absorb the flavours.
  2. Prepare the base: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan. Sauté the onion for 5 minutes until softened, then add garlic and fennel seeds and cook for another 2 minutes.
  3. Add the sweet potato: Place the thinly sliced sweet potato into the pan, cover with a lid, and let it cook for 10 minutes on low heat.
  4. Build the sauce: Add the butterbeans (with their liquid), rose harissa, lemon juice, vegetable stock, chopped apricots, and salt & pepper to the pan. Stir well.
  5. Incorporate the tomatoes: Add the marinated cherry tomatoes to the pan but reserve the marinade. Cover with a lid and cook for another 10 minutes.
  6. Finish the butterbeans: Stir in the spinach and let it wilt into the dish.
  7. Prepare the couscous: Toss the cooked couscous with cucumber, mint, parsley, and spring onions. Pour over the reserved tomato marinade, mix well, and season with salt and pepper.
  8. Serve: Spoon the harissa butterbeans into bowls, serve with the herbed couscous, and top with a dollop of yogurt, a drizzle of harissa oil, and fresh herbs.
  9. Enjoy!
