- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons plain flour
- 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 2 mixed peppers, deseeded and sliced into strips
- 30 grams black olives, pitted
- 80 grams dried apricots, roughly chopped
- 1 Knorr Chicken Stock Pot
- 1 400 gram tin of tinned plum tomatoes
- 150 grams couscous
- A few sprigs of fresh mint, leaves picked and finely chopped
- 1 Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Toss the chicken in the flour, add to the pan, then cook until browned all over.
- 2 Transfer to a plate and discard the excess fat, leaving a small amount in the pan.
- 3 Add the onion, garlic and ginger, then cook gently for 10 minutes to soften.
- 4 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.
- 5 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.
- 6 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.
- 7 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.
- 8 Fluff the couscous up with a fork, season carefully and stir through the mint leaves, then enjoy with the chicken stew.
