André is well known for his jaunts to Morocco. Last time he returned he cooked up this recipe and everyone loved it! Tagines normally take hours and hours in a clay pot, but not this one... 20 minutes and a couple of pans and BAM... you could almost be in Morocco!
150 grams
Couscous
1 sachet(s)
Chicken Stock Powder
1 carton(s)
Finely Chopped Tomatoes with Onion and Garlic
1 pot(s)
Tagine Garnish
1 sachet(s)
Tagine Paste
260 grams
Diced British Chicken Thigh
1 carton(s)
Chickpeas
1 unit(s)
Courgette
(May contain traces of: Celery)
1 bunch(es)
Coriander
300 milliliter(s)
Water for the Couscous
Fill and boil your kettle.
Pour the boiling water (see ingredients for amount) for the couscous into a saucepan.
Add half the stock pot, stir well to dissolve.
Stir in the couscous then remove from the heat.
Cover with a lid and leave to one side.
Meanwhile, halve the courgette lengthways. Thinly slice widthways.
Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all)
Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a sieve.
Heat a splash of oil in a large frying pan over high heat.
Fry the chicken until browned on all sides, 3-4 mins.
Lower the heat to medium and add the courgettes. Cook, stirring well for 2 mins.
Add the tagine paste, garnish, remaining stock pot, chopped tomatoes and chickpeas.
Stir to dissolve the stock pot and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 8-10 mins.
IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Stir every couple of mins to make sure it isn't catching to the bottom of the pan.
Fluff the couscous up with a fork.
Season the tagine to taste with salt and pepper if needed and stir through half the coriander.
Serve the couscous in bowls topped with the chicken tagine.
Sprinkle over the remaining coriander. Enjoy!
