WARM VEGGIES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the potato pieces on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and crisping up, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
COOK UP THE QUINOA
Place the rinsed quinoa in a pot with 150ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the tails have popped out, 12-15 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain (if necessary). Set aside to steam, about 5 minutes.
TOASTY ALMONDS
Place a pot for the tagine over medium heat. When hot, toast the chopped almonds until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pot and set aside.
SIMMER THE TAGINE
When the potato pieces reach the halfway mark, return the pot to medium-high heat with a splash of water. When starting to bubble, simmer the halved green beans until cooked al dente, 3-4 minutes. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil, season, and remove from the pot. Return the pot, wiped down, to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sauté the grated garlic until fragrant, about a minute. Pour in the cooked chopped tomato and 150ml of water, give it a stir, and simmer until thickened, 10-12 minutes. Add a sweetener (to taste) and the harissa paste (to taste).
FINISH THE QUINOA & SAUCE
Toss ½ the chopped mint and ¾ of the chopped dates through the cooked quinoa. Add the lemon juice (to taste) and seasoning. Set aside. Once the roast is done, add the cooked potato to the harissa tagine along with the green beans and set aside.
