Harissa Beef and Chickpea Stew
with Buttery Couscous and Cheese
Spicy and vibrant, harissa is widely used in North African and Middle Eastern cuisine. This fragrant paste contains herbs and spices such as dried chillies, star anise, cumin and coriander, making it the perfect match for pilafs, stews and pasta.
Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.
