⅔ tin

1 unit
carrot
½ unit
lemon
olive oil
½ cup
water (for the sauce)
4 tsp
vinegar (white wine or red wine)
¾ cup
water (for the couscous)
Finely chop the brown onion. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Pick and roughly chop the mint leaves. Cut the lemon (see ingredients list) into wedges. Grate the carrot (unpeeled).
Heat a large frying pan over a mediumhigh heat. Add the slivered almonds and toast, tossing, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add the pork mince and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned, 4-5 minutes.
Add the garlic, tomato paste (see ingredients list), chermoula spice blend (see ingredients list) and mango chutney to the pork mixture. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 2 minutes. Add the water (for the sauce), carrot and crumble in the chicken stock (1/2 cube for 2 people / 1 cube for 4 people). Stir, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until thickened slightly, 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. TIP: Add an extra splash of water if the mixture is too thick!
While the sauce is simmering, add the water (for the couscous) to a medium saucepan and crumble in the remaining chicken stock (1/2 cube for 2 people / 1 cube for 4 people). Bring to the boil, then add the couscous and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine, cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Set aside until all the water has absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff the couscous up with a fork and stir through 1/2 the mint.
While the couscous is cooking, roughly chop the tomato and place in a medium bowl with a generous squeeze of lemon juice and the remaining mint. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and stir to combine. TIP: Add more lemon juice if you like!
Divide the mint couscous and cheat's Moroccan pork tagine between bowls. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
