How to Make Moroccan Pumpkin And Harissa Stew

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes, until softened.
  3. Add the whole garlic bulb to the pot.
  4. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, harissa paste, cinnamon stick, and vegetable or chicken stock.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. Add the cubed potatoes and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are almost tender.
  7. Add the cubed pumpkin and baby corn. Simmer for a further 5 minutes.
  8. Add the frozen peas and halved cherry tomatoes. Simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  9. Carefully remove the whole garlic bulb from the pot. Once cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and mash well.
  10. Stir the mashed garlic back into the stew.
  11. Season the stew with salt and pepper to taste.
  12. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornflour and 2 tablespoons of water until smooth.
  13. Add the cornflour slurry to the stew. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until the stew has thickened to your desired consistency.
  14. Remove the cinnamon stick.
  15. Stir in the fresh mint and coriander.
  16. Serve the stew hot, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired, alongside couscous or crusty bread.
