CHICKEN APRICOT RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat the rapeseed oil. Add the chicken and brown all over, turning occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside. 

  Add the onions and garlic to the pan. Cook on a low heat for 10 minutes until softened and golden, adding a little water if it starts to stick. Add the spices and continue to cook for a further minute. 

  Return the chicken to the pan and add the apricots, tomatoes and half the coriander. Pour in 400ml water, cover and cook on a low heat for 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Add a splash more water if the tagine seems dry. Cook the couscous according to packet instructions. Fluff up the couscous with a fork, then stir through 1 tbsp rapeseed oil per serving to separate the grains.

  Blitz the tagine with a hand blender to the desired consistency for baby or toddler. Scatter over the remaining coriander to serve and for the adults' dishes, sprinkle over the almonds and a spoonful of yogurt.
