Spicy Chicken and Couscous

Another popular dinner is chicken and couscous which I serve with fine green beans and a rich tomato sauce.

It is a very quick and straightforward meal to put together


Tomato Sauce
In a saucepan soften a sliced red onion in a little olive oil
Add a tin of chopped tomatoes, a squeeze of tomato puree, a splash of worcester sauce, 1 tsp english mustard powder, a splash of white wine vinegar, 1tsp soft brown sugar, salt and pepper.
Bring to the boil then simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes

This sauce is good made in advance and reheated

Spicy Chicken
Cut boneless chicken thighs into pieces, cover with chicken seasoning, fry in 1 tbs olive oil for 10 - 12 minutes until brown

Serve with couscous which has been soaked in chicken stock for 5 minutes, use a fork to lighten the grains then let it have 1 minute in the micro wave so it is really hot.

The green beans are boiled in a little water for 5 minutes
