Ingredients- 4-5 chicken legs (or thighs) - 1 carrot - 1 onion - 2 garlic cloves - 1 can of diced tomatoes - 1 glass of white wine - 400ml of broth - 1 cup of green peas - spices: cumin, all spices - salt and pepper
- 2 couscous (1 cup serve 2 people more or less) |
Chop the carrot and dice the onion. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan and swet the onions with the carrot. Add two garlic cloves (you can mince them if you want a stronger garlic taste) and stir. |
Once the vegetables are soft and brown add the diced tomatoes (you can use them fresh or from a can). Stir and cook for another few min. |
Add the spices to taste: cumin and allspice. |
Cook medium heat for 5 minutes. Add water, |
white wine and 1 tablespoon of soup stock. Bring to boil. |
In a flat pan warm up 2 tablespoons of olive oil with salt and pepper. Clean the chicken legs taking out the skin if needed. |
Grill the chicken legs for 3 min each side. |
Once the tomato sauce is boiling add the peas and the chicken legs. |
Cook covered for 30 min or until the chicken legs are cooked. Generally the sauce is really liquid. Save 2-3 scoops of just the tomato sauce from the pan to pour later on top of the couscous. If you like a liquid sauce skip next line. |
If you like a more dense sauce you can take 2-3 scoops of sauce and process them with an immersion blender. Return the dense sauce in the pot and mix. |
Make the CousCous: in a pan boil 2 cups of water with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add 2 cups of couscous. (for each cup of couscous add one cup of wather) |
Make sure all the grains get the wather by shaking gently the pan. Leave the couscous covered for 10 min. |
Fluff with a fork until the grains are not sticky together. To serve: in a plate place 1 scoop of couscous, add the chicken next to it and pour the liquid tomato sauce on top of the couscous. Serve warm. |
