Chicken and Couscous a La Morocco

"50 years age, Uncle Sam's Air force sent me on a 4 year paid holiday to Europe and North Africa. I spent several months at Sidi Slimane, Morocco where I found this dish. It is not only delicious, its quick and easy.In hot weather I cook a lot on the patio using my propane camp stove. Why heat up the house just to pay the electric company to run the air conditioner."

  1. Never made couscous like this before, it was excellent! <br/>The only thing I added was a little bit of salt and pepper, a few garlic cloves (I'm French, after all!) and a dash of Cayenne pepper!<br/>Maybe cook a few merguez on the grill to go with it....

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a 73 year old male. I live in the desert in Southeast Wasington. Yes, Virginia, Southeast Washington is Desert, Cacti, Sage Brush, Wile E. Coyote, the whole nine yards.The Columbia River flows through the middle of it and is its saving grace. Some of the jobs. I've held are Well Driller, Aircraft Machanic, Handyman, Electrician,Merchant Seaman, And most recently Long haul Driver.My hobbies are cooking, Kite making, and Good movies (plus anything that strikes my fancy) My first cookbook was Fanny Farmer Original Boston Cooking School Cookbook and its still the first of all of my cookbooks that I go to. It has the best Biscuit recipe going and the only change I make to its Cornbread recipe is to add a half teaspoon of Cayenne to bring out the flavor of the cornmeal. I injured my knee and have had the last year off and what I've done is go quietly mad. I'm now semi retired and try to figure out plan 'E'. A, B, C, and D phased out so it's time to move on, where, the hell ever, that is.
