Preparation
1
Form the Meatballs
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
  • In a large bowl, combine the mince, breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp water (per 2P), ¼ tsp salt (per 2P) and half the parsley
  • Season with harissa spice and pepper and mix together by hand. 
  • Roll into evenly-sized balls, 3-4 per person. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
2
Cook the Meatballs
  • Pop the meatballs onto a lined baking tray.
  • When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until browned on the outside and cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
3
Make the Couscous
  • Pour 600ml water (per 2P) into a pot, stir in the stock and bring to the boil.
  • Stir in the pearled couscous, bring back up to the boil and simmer, covered, 12-15 mins.
  • Drain in a sieve and pop back in the pot. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

4
Prep the Veg
  • Meanwhile, trim the green beans and then chop into thirds. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
  • Halve, peel and chop the shallot into small pieces.
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil
  • Once hot, add the green beans, cherry tomatoes and shallot.
  • Fry until starting to char, 3-4 mins. Season with salt and pepper and fry for 1 min.
5
Make the Sauce
  • Add the passata, ½ tsp sugar (per 2P), 2 tbsp water (per 2P), remaining stock and cooked meatballs. 
  • Cover and simmer until the veg is tender, 4-5 mins.
  • To finish, mix through the harissa paste, mango chutney and a knob of butter.
  • Add a splash of water to loosen the sauce if you feel it's too thick. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

TIP: Add less harissa if you don't like things spicy!

6
Finish and Serve
  • Mix the remaining parsley into the couscous, fluffing it up as you go.
  • Divide the herby couscous between deep plates or bowls.
  • Top with the meatballs and veg, drizzling over any sauce remaining in the pan.
