Step 1

Place a deep frypan or lidded casserole pot over a medium heat, swirl in the olive oil, then add the sausages. Cook until colored on all sides but not cooked through. (5 minutes)

Step 2

Remove sausages from the pan and add onion, garlic, capsicum, and cherry tomatoes. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Add the spices and half of the lemon zest to the pan, stir through the vegetables until they are coated.

Step 4

Pour the tinned tomatoes, tinned chickpeas, chicken stock, and dates into the tagine, then season with salt and pepper. Give everything a good stir.

Step 5

Return the sausages back into the tagine, nestling them gently into the vegetables. Cover the pot and cook on low for 20 minutes until sausages are cooked through and vegetables are tender.

Step 6

Cook couscous as per packet instructions, and using a fork, mix through remaining lemon zest.

Step 7

When the tagine is ready, serve immediately with couscous. To finish, garnish with fresh coriander.
