  6. Remove the cling film and place the marinated aubergine in the preheated oven and bake for 30 mins until tender.

  7. For the chickpea stew: Fry the onions in the oil until soft and golden. Add the garlic and spices and fry for 2 mins longer. Add the tomatoes and stock and simmer gently until well cooked and starting to thicken. Stir in the tomato puree, chickpeas and bay leaf. Simmer for 5 mins more. Season to taste and stir in the chopped parsley.

  8. Spread the couscous on a large platter and ladle the chickpea stew over the top. Top the stew with the baked aubergines and serve.
