DRIED APRICOT COOKIE RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook for 5-8 minutes or until softened. Remove from the heat and tip into a mixing bowl and leave to cool.
• Add the remaining ingredients and season to taste. Mix well, you may find it easier to get your hands in so you can mix everything together. Roll into balls and lay on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Cover with cling film and freeze for a couple of hours until firm, then pop into freezer bags. Label and freeze for up to 1 month.
• To cook, preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Tip the frozen balls onto a greased baking tray and cook for 25-30 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

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.
