Method

step 1
Heat a large saucepan over a medium-high heat with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the venison meatballs (1 pack) and cook for 7-9 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned all over. Remove from the pan and set aside.
step 2
Lower the heat and add the sliced onion (1) and garlic (2 cloves) to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
step 3
Add the ras el hanout (2 tbsp), harissa (1 tbsp), chopped tomatoes (1 tin), drained chickpeas (1 jar), chicken stock (500 ml) and prunes (10). Add the meatballs back to the pan and bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook for 25-30 minutes, until the sauce has reduced and the meatballs are cooked through.
step 4
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
step 5
Meanwhile, add the couscous (100 g) to a heatproof bowl and top up with 150ml of boiling water. Mix in the stock pot (1). Cover with a clean tea towel and set aside for 8-10 minutes. When you're ready to serve, fluff up the couscous with a fork.
step 6
Serve the couscous and the tagine in bowls, topped with the flaked almonds (15 g) and some picked parsley leaves (15 g).
