-
Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and add the parsnips. Cook for 5 minutes, then drain in a colander a large and let them steam-dry for a few minutes.
-
Tip the butternut squash, cauliflower and parsnips into a large roasting tray and coat in half the olive oil. Season generously and bake in a preheated oven at 200C for 30-35 minutes, turning once, until soft and caramelised.
-
Meanwhile, add the remaining olive oil to a clay pot or saucepan and sauté the onions for 10-15 minutes until soft and starting to colour.
-
Toss in the garlic, ginger, yellow pepper and spices and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the honey, passata and cherry tomatoes and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer gently for 30 minutes.
-
To make the crispy kale, lightly oil your hands and scrunch up the kale in a baking tray. Season generously and bake in the oven for 6-8 minutes until crisp. Remove and set aside.
-
In a small bowl, add the couscous and pour over the hot vegetable stock. Cover with clingfilm and leave for 5-10 minutes.
-
Once the stock has been absorbed, fluff up the grains with a fork and stir through the herbs, spring onions, extra-virgin olive oil, the lemon juice and zest, and the crispy kale.
-
Add the chickpeas, cranberries and roasted vegetables to the tagine mixture and cook for a further 5 minutes. Scatter over the toasted almonds and serve on top of the couscous.
