Stir in the Ras el Hanout and cook for 1min, then add the tomatoes, apricots/dates and some seasoning. Bring up to the boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for 8-10min or until the chicken is cooked through.

Meanwhile, put the couscous into a large heatproof bowl and just cover with boiling water from the kettle. Cover with clingfilm or a lid. Set aside for 5min.

Fluff up the couscous with a fork and serve with the tagine.
