Frequently asked questions
Can I make this stew ahead of time?
Yes! This stew tastes even better the next day as the flavors deepen. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave until piping hot.
What can I use instead of harissa paste?
If you don’t have harissa, try adding a pinch of red chili flakes or a teaspoon of sriracha for some heat. Alternatively, leave it out if you prefer a milder stew.
How can I make this dish gluten-free?
The stew itself is naturally gluten-free. Pair it with gluten-free bread, quinoa, or rice instead of couscous.
