Method
- Heat the oil in a casserole dish or frying pan over a low-medium heat and fry the garlic for 1-2 mins until softened but not browning. Add the tagine spices and heat for 1 min until fragrant.
- Add the leftover meatballs, roasted vegetables, apricots and olives to the pan and stir to coat in the spices, trying not to break up the squash too much. Add the chickpeas and passata, fill the carton half-full with water, then add to the pan. Bring to the boil, then simmer over a medium heat for 15 mins, stirring occasionally, until rich and fragrant and the meatballs are piping hot.
- Stir most of the herbs through the tagine. Serve with couscous and yogurt, if you like, and scatter with the remaining herbs.
Tip: This recipe uses leftover meatballs and veg from our Hot honey squash and meatball traybake.
