Quick chickpea tagine and spicy couscous

Using another product from the stall, because I felt like something a bit spicy for tea - so quick tagine and spiced couscous.

Olive oil
Onion
Garlic
Ginger
Carrot
Red pepper
Chickpeas
Tomato puree
chili
cinnamon
grate of nutmeg
mixed herbs
vegan bouillon
tahini
pomegranate
black pepper

Packet of spiced couscous
Little gem lettuce

1.  Chop onion and sautee in olive oil.
2.  Add grated garlic and ginger.
3.  When soft add peeled chopped carrot and chopped red pepper.
4.  Add drained chickpeas.
5.  Cook for a little while, then add squeeze of tomato puree, chili flakes, herbs, spices and bouillon with some water.  Continue to simmer.  Add tahini after about 5 minutes.  Add chopped kale.
6.  Simmer gently until family get in from work (that'll be about 20 minutes).
7.  Prepare couscous according to packet instructions.
8. Chop salad leaves, bang pomegranate seeds over tagine.
9.  Scoff.

Too be fair, I think I would have prefered not to double spicy - ie.  had plain couscous with the spicy tagine, the double spicy meant I was pleased to have the refreshing lettuce with it.  The spiced couscous, however, would be excellent with roasted vegetables stirred through it.
