Harissa Beef & Black Bean Couscous

with Yoghurt

Harissa, the chilli-based condiment originating from North Africa varies in heat from mild to firey. Our version is definitely on the mild side, with a gentle heat plus warming spices. it's the ideal sauce to complement beef, and with hearty couscous plus a cooling yoghurt, this bowl is a burst of flavour in every bite!

Unfortunately, this week's chickpeas were in short supply, so We've replaced them with black beans. Don't worry, the recipe will be just as delicious, just be sure to follow your recipe card!
