Chick-pea and winter vegetables stew

This hearty, winter-resistant stew contains tender root vegetables, chickpeas with nuts and soft couscous in a bowl full of comfort. Harissa is a spicy and aromatic chili paste used in Moroccan cuisine. It is very hot and offers versatile properties. It is ideal for roasted vegetables, grilled meats and anything served on brown rice or other wholegrain cereals. Some commentators have pointed out that the stew without Harissa is delicious, but if the heat beats you, we recommend the booster. Use a variety of hearty root vegetables – parsnips and sweet potatoes are a great addition to this stew if you prefer a sweeter profile.
