The delicious couscous from Fès as prepared by my BFF Mounsef




Ingredients

3 chopped onions,
3 chopped celery stalks
2 ripe crushed tomatoes
1 whole chicken
2 teaspoons of turmeric
1 teaspoon of ground ginger
Pepper and salt
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Enough water to cover the chicken
Cook at low heat once you've reaches a boiling point

Half an hour later add
6 whole carrots

15 minutes later add
6 pink turnips cut into 4

15 minutes later add
4 zucchini, half peeled and cut into large pieces
1 jar of chickpeas
Cook for 10 minutes

Take out the chicken and collect the meat

Steam the grain
For the grain, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix well. Add salted water to swell the grain before putting it on the couscoussier to cook it (15minutes?)
When cooked, add 2 teaspoons of ghee or butter.

Reheat the broth and before serving add a chopped parsley and chopped fresh coriander

Serve on large deep plates and enjoy. You can add Harissa diluted with some broth as an option.
