For the couscous: Put the dry couscous in a bowl and drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with salt. Bring the vegetable broth to a boil and then pour over the couscous. Stir and then cover and set aside for 10 minutes.

Then add the tomato sauce, harissa paste and water, heat thoroughly. Finally puree with an stick blender.
Pour the sauce on to a platter and top with the couscous, then vegetables, and garnish with parsley and cilantro.
