🛒 Ingredients For the Fried onion For the Couscous To assemble 👨🍳 Method For the Fried onion 1 Heat the olive oil in a wide pot over medium heat.
⚙ Pan-frying Stove Wide, shallow pot
2 Add the onion and fry for 8 minutes, stirring, until the onion is soft and deep golden.
⚙ Adding to the hot fat and frying Stove 💡 Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.
To assemble 3 Add the chicken and fry 5 minutes.
⚙ Adding to the hot fat and frying Stove
4 Add the cumin, turmeric, paprika, ginger, cinnamon, salt and black pepper and stir.
5 Add the carrot, eggplant, red pepper and stock and bring to a boil.
Stove
6 Turn down the heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes.
⚙ Simmering Stove Lid 💡 A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
7 Add the zucchini and olives and cook another 10 minutes.
Stove 💡 Hard vegetables (carrot, eggplant) go in first, and zucchini only toward the end of cooking: that way they're all tender and none fall apart.
8 Bring cup and a quarter of the stock to a boil and pour it over the couscous.
Stove Small saucepan
9 Cover 5 minutes and fluff the grains with a fork.
💡 Fluff with a fork, not a spoon: a fork separates the grains, and a spoon mashes them into clumps.
10 Serve the couscous on a plate with the stew and broth on top.
11 Sprinkle the cilantro on top.
