 - Fragrant: Moroccan chicken with spring onion couscous recipe

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE CHICKEN

100g dried apricots, chopped in half
1tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil
1 small onion, chopped
2cm piece of root ginger, peeled and grated
2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
2 chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
1 cinnamon stick
1tsp harissa paste
1/2tsp ground cumin
400g tin plum tomatoes
Small handful of toasted flaked almonds
Small bunch coriander, chopped

FOR THE COUSCOUS

100g couscous
3 spring onions, finely chopped
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2tbsp olive oil
125ml very hot chicken stock

METHOD

Place the apricots in a bowl, cover with boiling water and leave for 10 minutes to soften. Heat the sunflower or vegetable oil in a large frying pan or saucepan. Add the onion, ginger and garlic and cook for 5 minutes until softened but not coloured. Slice the chicken into bite-size pieces and add to the pan with the cinnamon stick, harissa paste and cumin. Fry for a few minutes until the chicken becomes opaque.
Drain the tomatoes of most of their juice and stir into the pan, drain the apricots and stir in, add salt and pepper, cover pan loosely with a lid and cook gently for 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the couscous and spring onion in a large bowl. Mix the lemon juice and olive oil into the very hot stock, and then pour over the couscous. Stir and then cover with a plate for 5 minutes. Fluff the grains with a fork and add salt and pepper. When serving, scatter the almonds and coriander over the chicken.
