Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the sweet potato into 2cm chunks (no need to peel).
Pop the sweet potato onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden and tender, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Drain and rinse the black beans in a sieve.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and cook until softened, 4-5 mins.
Add the garlic, harissa paste and chermoula spice mix, then cook for 1 min more.
Pour in the chopped tomatoes, veg stock paste and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount). Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium.
Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 7-8 mins.
When the sauce has thickened, add the black beans and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the stew has thickened, 10-12 mins.
Once the sweet potato is cooked, remove from the oven and stir through the stew.
Stir in the spinach a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water if the stew is a little thick.
When ready, share your harissa stew between your bowls and top with a dollop of yoghurt.
Generously sprinkle the toasted almonds over the top to finish.
Enjoy!
