Method

  • step 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion for 1-2 mins just until softened. Add the chicken and fry for 7-10 mins until cooked through and the onions have turned golden. Grate over the ginger, stir through the harissa to coat everything and cook for 1 min more.

  • step 2

    Tip in the apricots, chickpeas and couscous, then pour over the stock and stir once. Cover with a lid or tightly cover the pan with foil and leave for about 5 mins until the couscous has soaked up all the stock and is soft. Fluff up the couscous with a fork and scatter over the coriander to serve. Serve with extra harissa, if you like.

This BBC Good Food recipe has been a family favourite for several years because of ease and speed to cook, full flavour and amenable to adjustments (E.g. replace Chickpeas with Frozen petit pois, or make it vegan by replacing the chicken with vegan chicken, firm tofu or your favourite veg.

question

would this work with quinoa instead of couscous as a gluten free option?

Hi, thanks for your question. It would taste good with quinoa but you'd need to change the method as quinoa needs to be boiled for 12-15 mins in three times the volume of stock or water. So for every 100g quinoa, add 300ml water or stock. We'd probably boil the quinoa in stock in a separate pan,…
