On a medium flame using a tagine, seal shanks until brown using a little oil, then remove and set aside.
Add all spices (dry and seeds) and roastin the tagine, then add onions and garlic to spices and fry until golden brown.
Add the stock, shanks, honey, pomegranate molasses and salt and pepper to taste, bring to boil then cover with tagine lid and simmer on a very low flame or in the oven on 160 C for 1.5-2 hours.
Prunes and carrots should be added in the last 30 mins of cooking.
For the Carrot Couscous
Place couscous in a bowl and set aside, put the rest of ingredients in a deep pan except for parsley.
Bring to the boil and pour over couscous, stir to distribute liquid evenly then cover in plastic wrap for 10-15 minutes giving time for the couscous to absorb all the liquid.
Uncover and add parsley and fluff the mixture with a fork.
*Pomegranate Molasses and Ras el Hanout can be found in some supermarkets and specialty food outlets.
