Instructions

Cook Couscous
1
  • Boil a half-full kettle.
  • Put the couscous in a bowl.
  • Pour in the boiled water (see pantry), stir in the chicken stock paste, then cover tightly with cling film. Set aside, 8-10 mins.
Get Frying
2
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, fry the chicken, 8-10 mins. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
  • Add the tomato puree and roasted spice and herb blend. Cook, 1 min.
Flavour Town
3
  • Stir in the harissa (add less if you'd prefer things milder), red wine stock paste, honey and water (see pantry). TIP: Put hardened honey in hot water for 1 min. Simmer, 2-3 mins.
  • Add the spinach in handfuls, making sure it's piping hot, 1-2 mins.
Dinner's Ready!
