Instructions

Prep
1

Wash and dry all produce. Halve, peel, and mince shallots. Mince or grate garlic. Peel carrots, then thinly slice on an angle. Dice tomatoes. Roughly chop apricots. Finely chop cilantro. Drain and rinse chickpeas. Cut lemons into quarters.

Cook Couscous
2

Heat a large drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add half the shallots and half the garlic. Cook, stirring, until just softened, 1-3 minutes. Stir in 1½ cups water, 2 stock concentrates, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then add couscous. Cover, remove from heat, and set aside.

Cook Sausage
3

Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage and half the Turkish Spice, breaking up meat into pieces. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.

Cook Chickpeas and Veggies
4

Heat a large drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add carrots and chickpeas. Cook until veggies soften and begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add a big pinch of salt and all of the remaining shallots, garlic, and Turkish Spice. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Meanwhile, stir together ⅔ cup water and remaining stock concentrates in a small bowl.

Make Crema
5

Pour stock mixture into pan. Stir in sausage and tomatoes. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cover pan. (TIP: Use a piece of aluminum foil to cover your pan if it doesn’t have a lid.) Cook until liquid is slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Meanwhile, in another small bowl, mix sour cream, hot sauce (to taste), and a pinch of salt. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture has a drizzling consistency.

Finish and Serve
6

Fluff couscous with a fork, then stir in 2 TBSP butter, a squeeze or two of lemon, and half the cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Divide between plates. Top with tagine. Drizzle with crema. Garnish with apricots and remaining cilantro. Serve with remaining lemon quarters on the side for squeezing over.
