Homemade Moroccan Tomato Chicken & Couscous

Moroccan is my favourite foods at the moment and I have been experimenting with loads of different spices and flavours. In my opinion homemade is always best and with the right recipe.

So welcome to my homemade moroccan blog. I must admit I don't do spicy food as I personally want to enjoy my meal than be scurry in pain from a burning tongue. But hey what ever floats your boat thats the wonderful thing about food.

Experiment with excitement...

"Food is a passion. Food is love"

Every time I make a moroccan sauce I try to make it exciting and homely. Personally like curry it reminds myself of home comforts and that family meal that I loved coming home to from university during the holidays. Why not try this recipe and see if it becomes one of your loving favourites.

2. Handful of long green beans

3. Pack of mushrooms

4. 2 onions

5. 2 garlic cloves

6. 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, paprika, parsley, cumin and ginger

7. tin/can of chopped tomatoes

8. 1 oxo cubes (chicken or vegetable is fine)

2. While they are cooking cut up the chicken into small/medium pieces and add to the onion, mushrooms and garlic.

3. To make the sauce/mixture empty the chopped tomatos into a jug and mix until smooth. Add the 2 oxo cubes and stir adding the cinnamon, paprika, parsley, cumin and ginger.
