• Boil the kettle. • Thinly slice leek. • Thinly slice mild chorizo into half-moons.
• In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook chorizo and leek until browned, 3-4 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Add soffritto mix and cook until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add tinned cherry tomatoes, the brown sugar, butter and a splash of water. Simmer, crushing tomatoes with the back of a spoon, until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the water and vegetable stock powder and bring to the boil. • Add couscous and stir to combine. Cover with a lid and remove from heat. • Set aside until the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with fork.
• Remove pan from the heat, then add baby leaves and stir until just wilted. • Divide couscous between bowls. Top with chorizo and cherry tomato stew. • Tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
