Chicken cubes (or just vegetables) fried on fried onion, with spices, root vegetables and stock added and cooked covered; soft vegetables go in last. Usually served over couscous.
Heat the olive oil in a wide pan over medium heat.

Add the onion and fry 5–8 minutes, stirring now and then, until the onion is soft and translucent and starts to turn golden at the edges. If it browns too fast, lower the heat.
⚙ Adding to the hot fat and fryingStove
💡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.

6
Turn down the heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes.
⚙ SimmeringStoveLid
💡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 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.
