 Moroccan Couscous
 
 
1 lb   (500g) chicken breast (approx 4 chicken breasts)  
1/2 cup   corn oil  
3   cloves garlic, chopped  
1/2 lb   (250g) tomatoes, chopped  
1 cup   fresh parsley, chopped (or 2 tsp dried parsley)  
1/2 tsp   ground cinnamon  
1/8 tsp   saffron threads, crushed  
5   small turnips  
2   small carrots, sliced  
1   large acorn squash; peeled, seeded, cut into 2" pieces  
3   small zucchinis/courgettes, diced  
1 lb   (500g) lentils  
1 lb   garbanzo beans/chickpeas canned or dried, ground  
2 1/4 cups   water  
3 cups   couscous (about 18 ozs/512g)  
4 cups   chicken broth  
1.75 tsp   calcium powder  

 

 
Combine chicken and broth in a large Dutch oven. Simmer until chicken is cooked through, turning occasionally, about 20 minutes. Using tongs remove chicken from cooking liquid: reserve cooking liquid. While the chicken is cooking, bring a pan of water to the boil and cook the lentils for 10-20 minutes until soft.

 

Heat a little of the oil in a skillet, add the garlic and stir fry until golden. Then add the next 9 ingredients and stir 30 seconds. Mix in reserved cooking liquid, garbanzo beans/chickpeas (including the liquid if using canned) and the rest of the oil (leaving 2 tbs for the couscous). *If using dried garbanzo beans, soak them overnight. When ready to cook, boil for 15-20 minutes or until soft. When cool, pulverize in a food processor. This makes them easier to digest.

 

Cover and simmer until the vegetables are almost tender, about 10 minutes. Uncover and cook until vegetables are tender - about 5 minutes. While the vegetables are cooking, cut the chicken breasts into cubes.

 

Add chicken pieces and lentils to sauce and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.

 

Meanwhile bring the water and 2 tbs of the oil to boiling. Stir in couscous. Remove from heat, cover and let stand 10 minutes; stir in calcium powder and fluff with fork. Then let cool.

 

Put a quarter of the couscous in a dog bowl. Drizzle couscous with 1/4 of the sauce. Place chicken and vegetables on top of the couscous and add a little more sauce.
