😀 SERVES 2 🧭 15 MINS 👌578 CALS
This is a good one for when the evenings start turning colder. Spiced beef and chickpeas simmer together with harissa and ras el hanout, then get piled onto a bowl of fluffy couscous. It’s quick too, ready in about 15 minutes, which helps when you want something warming without much fuss. With 54g of protein per serving, it’s a proper filling dinner rather than something light.
