1 Knorr Chicken Stock Pot
8 chicken drumsticks
1 400 g tin of tinned plum tomatoes
150 g couscous
30 g black olives, pitted
80 g dried apricots, roughly chopped
2 mixed peppers, deseeded and sliced into strips
1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, peeled and finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely chopped
A few sprigs of fresh mint, leaves picked and finely chopped
1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 tbsp plain flour
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tbsp olive oil

Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Toss the chicken in the flour, add to the pan, then cook until browned all over.
Transfer to a plate and discard the excess fat, leaving a small amount in the pan.
Add the onion, garlic and ginger, then cook gently for 10 minutes to soften.
Stir in the spices for a minute or so, then throw in the peppers, olives and apricots. Return the chicken to the pan and stir well.
Boil the kettle. Measure out 300ml of boiling water in a measuring jug, then add the Knorr Chicken Stock Pot and stir to make a stock.
Pour the stock and tomatoes into the pan. Bring to the boil, breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon, then reduce to a simmer for 40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Place the couscous in a heatproof bowl, pour over 200ml of boiling water and cover for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed.
Fluff the couscous up with a fork, season carefully and stir through the mint leaves, then enjoy with the chicken stew.
