| Moroccan Chicken Stew with Couscous
1 1/4 lb boneless skinless chicken, cubed
3 onions, thinly sliced
2 cups water
1 tbsp minced gingerroot
1 tsp each turmeric, cinnamon and granulated sugar
1/2 tsp saffron (optional)
1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed
4 carrots, cut in chunks
1 cup canned or cooked chick-peas
1/4 cup dried currants
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 small zucchini (6 oz / 170 g), cut in chunks
2 tbsp each chopped fresh parsley and coriander
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 cup couscous
In nonstick skillet or saucepan, cook chicken over high heat until brown on all sides and no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes; remove chicken to plate and set aside. Reduce heat to medium and add onions; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until softened.
Add water, gingerroot, turmeric, cinnamon, sugar, and saffron (if using); bring to simmer.
Add sweet potato and carrots; cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
Add chick-peas, currants and lemon juice. (Recipe can be prepared to this point, cooled, covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Bring to simmer before continuing.)
Add zucchini and chicken; cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside and vegetables are tender. Add parsley and coriander; season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve over couscous and with vegetables or salad.
