  1. WARM VEGGIES

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the sweet potato chunks 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).

  2. 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.

  3. TOASTY ALMONDS

    Place a pot for the tagine over a medium heat. When hot, toast the almonds until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pot and set aside.

  4. SIMMER THE TAGINE

    When the sweet potato chunks 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. Wipe down the pot and return 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 50ml of water, give it a stir, and simmer until thickened, 8-10 minutes. Add a sweetener and the harissa paste (to taste).

  5. FINISH THE QUINOA & SAUCE

    Toss ½ of the chopped mint and ¾ of the chopped dates through the cooked quinoa. Add lemon zest (to taste), lemon juice, and seasoning. Set aside for serving. Once the roast is done, add the cooked sweet potato to the harissa tagine along with the green beans and seasoning. Set aside.

  6. YOUR TAGINE QUEEN!

    To serve, make a bed of delicious quinoa and smother it in the spicy tagine. Sprinkle over the remaining mint and dates. Garnish with the toasted almonds and the remaining lemon zest (to taste). Top with a hearty dollop of cashew nut yoghurt and serve with a lemon wedge on the side. Delish!
