Steps
Sequence Step
1Use either a large non-stick saucepan, or better still a wok, pour in the oil, and allow to heat slightly. Then begin adding the aubergine pieces, and mix on a medium heat.
2Now add the spices and a little more oil (as the aubergine will have absorbed most of the oil), and mix well.
3Add the remaining ingredients, except for the cous cous, stock, water, nuts and mint, and stir for a few minutes.
4Then lower the heat, add the stock and the mint, and finally the cous cous. Continue cooking on a low heat until everything has blended well together – 5 minutes should do the trick. Now sprinkle the almonds and orange zest on top and serve hot. Bon Appetit !
